Looks like a djembe [gem-bay]to me - a traditional African drum. LOML has one she likes to bang on when she's home alone. She's of Algerian descent and it's big part of her culture.
I was in a djembe maker's shop in Madagascar and he sure didn't have anything as hi-tech as what's in the video! That's a really slick rig.
There are tons of these available on eBay. Here's a pic:
Very cool creation, but that 'machinery' scares the heck outta me. I noticed the guy backing out of shrapnel range when he was 'turning' the base!

I am waiting for this one. It will be here in a couple of months and will turn up to 8 foot diameter. Going to make a hot tub. The last I´ve heard it is going to be crated and going to Houston.
