It was originally played with an instrument called the Bombo leguero that is made of wood and leather and is between 13 to 18 inches in diameter. In Europe and the USA this kind of rhythm was made popular by Argentinean guitar player Athaulpa Yupanqui.

Radio Drum To create the next-generation Radio Drum. Note that ultimately it might not be a "Radio" Drum. The technology might end up being different. It must be a 3-dimensional controller that "doubles" as a drum. The fist-generation Radio Drum was designed by Bob Boie and built at Bell Labs in the mid-1980's as a "three-dimensional mouse." The Radio Drum itself could be called a "gesture sensor" that keeps constant track of the 3-dimensional spatial location of mallets in the following way: A small amount of wire is wrapped around the end of each of two sticks and acts as a conducting surface electrically driven by a radio frequency voltage source. We have several copies of the original Boie drum (in fact we have all of them still in existence), and we have a design for a "wireless" version in progress. Temporal resolution: 1 millisecond latency Spatial resolution: 1 millimeter resolution in x,y,z 1. 1. CNMAT's work on gesture sensing and interfacing (i.e. ethernet and/or XLR connections?).
Radio Drum The Radio Drum is an analyzer of gestural data. It is a three- dimensional controller, a sort of computerized musical drum. Invented in the late 1980’s, the Radio Drum uses the “jeu de jacquet” or “Backgammon” form of capacitive sensing to interpret the gestures of a performer. The drumsticks or mallets transmit a radio frequency that is detected by the drum surface. Each drumstick operates at a different frequency. Figure from ATT Bell Laboratory Radio Drum Manual By using a displacement algorithm, the four signals can be transformed into three data channels representing the x,y,z displacement versus time. Various drumming motions can be characterized by the signals generated by the drumsticks versus antennas displacements.
