Skor daey

Goblet drum called skor daey (Khmer: ស្គរ​ដៃ), meaning hand drum. This is the smaller of two Cambodian goblet drums, the larger being called skor chhaiyam (Khmer: ស្គរឆៃយ៉ាំ).
Two drums used in both Cambodia and Thailand. Left is the thon (Thai: โทน). On the right is the ramama (Thai: รำมะนาa).

The skor daey (ស្គរ​ដៃ, literally "hand drum") is a short goblet drum from Cambodia, approximately 40 centimeters tall and 15 centimeters wide at the top.[1][2] There are two common goblet drums there, the skor chayam (Khmer: ស្គរឆៃយ៉ាំ), a very long goblet drum, resembling some from Burma, and the skor daey.

Alternative spellings in English include skor dei and skor dai. Other Khmer names included skor arak, skor kar, skor ayai.[3] The name skor areak or skor arak (Khmer:ស្គរអារក្ស) links this variant to the Arak music it is used to play.[1] Both may be called skor toch, (Khmer: ស្គរតូច), literally small drum, but that may be a description and not a name.

Another small goblet drum used in Cambodia is the thon, a Thai name: โทน. Compared to the Skor daey, it "has a shallower head and a slimmer body."[4]
