Nope...you sit on the top and tap, slap, smack, bang the front face (natural colored panel in my photos)...the is called the tapa, it is 1/8" three ply birch. The thinner the better.

Depending on where you play the tapa, you get a different sound from a nice tight snap in the corners progressing to a very deep bass at the center.

Great percussion instrument. I've been having my son and daughter play it as I play guitar. Very versatile, needs a good touch because it can be loud, surprisingly really loud.

Hope this helps.
