Raban (drum)
Raban or Rabana () is a one-sided traditional drum type played with the hands, used in Sri Lanka. It's mainly played in Aurudu Kreeda (The Sri Lankan New Year).

Battle Of Raban
The Battle of Raban was an engagement fought in autumn 958 near the fortress of Raban (in modern-day Turkey) between the Byzantine army, led by John Tzimiskes (later emperor in 969–976), and the forces of the Hamdanid Emirate of Aleppo under the famed emir Sayf al-Dawla (r. 945–967). The battle was a major victory for the Byzantines, and contributed to the demise of Hamdanid military power, which in the early 950s had proven a great challenge to Byzantium. Background In the period from 945 to 967, the Hamdanid Emir of Aleppo, Sayf al-Dawla, was the Byzantines' most persistent opponent on their eastern frontier, by virtue of his control over most of the Byzantine–Muslim borderlands ('' Thughur'') and his commitment to ''jihad''. Sayf al-Dawla had already campaigned against the Byzantines in 938 and 940, but it was after his establishment of a large domain centred on Aleppo in 945, that he began confronting them on an annual basis..
