    • The skor yike (Khmer: ស្គរយីកេ) is a family of Cambodian frame drums used in Yike theater. There are as many as 13 different sizes, including the largest, the skor mei (approximately 2 feet across, 25 centimeters/9 inches deep). In the Yike drama, the skor mei starts and ends the music.
      In a Yike play, there may be from 2 to 13 drums. The largest skor mei drum begins, all perform, and then the instruments fall away until only the skor mei is still playing.
