Japanese: def
def

...This single-sided drum is held in front of the player like a shield, with the left hand supporting the lower part of the frame, and the player strikes the membrane with the fingertips of both hands to produce a variety of tones and rhythms. This drum is the same type as the one called daff or tar in Arabic, def or mazhar in Turkish, but the name daira is more common in Iran, Pakistan and Arab countries. It is also known as daira in Georgia, doira in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan, and daire in Albania and Macedonia in Eastern Europe.

From [Duff]

...However, some tars and bendirs have touch strings stretched over leather instead of small cymbals, producing special sound effects. In Turkish, dukh is pronounced def or tef, and those with cymbals are called zilli def. Defs without cymbals are used in folk music and Sufi rituals, and are almost the same drum as daīla. In fact, in ancient and medieval times, the circular dukh was called daīla.

【ドゥッフ】より

…ただしタールの一部やベンディールは小型シンバルの代りに,さわり弦を革面に張り,特殊な音響効果を発する。トルコ語ではドゥッフはデフdefまたはテフtefとなまって発音され,シンバル付きのものは特にジッリ・デフzilli defと呼ばれている。シンバルを欠くデフは民俗音楽やスーフィーの儀礼などに用いられ,これはダーイラとほとんど同じ太鼓であり,事実,古代・中世には円形のドゥッフはダーイラと呼ばれていた。…
