A Brazilian percussion instrument (friction drum), which produces a high pitched 'squeak'.

To make a sound simply rub the stick attached to the drum head with your fingers and thumb (try wetting them first!) in a rhythmic motion. This instrument is commonly used in Samba music, a distinctive Brazilian sound!
