The instrument consists of two connected wooden drums with skin membranes stretched over their tops. [1] Two wooden sticks, one of which has a curved end, are used to play the sambal. [1]

Sambal is a traditional instrument used by people who are Devotees of Mahalaxmi Devi and used in the gondhal (a ritual). [1]
