El furruco o furro es un tambor con cuero y una varilla, Suele utilizarse en la música tradicional navideña, así como en la gaita zuliana y los aguinaldos.Tambien se utiliza, en algunos pueblos, en la parranda.está constituido por una caja de madera, cilíndrica y ligeramente cónica, está cubierta por una membrana de cuero seco, vibrante. fijada al tambor con tirantes metálicos, de modo de poder templarla de acuerdo a las necesidades y gusto del intérprete. En el centro de la membrana va fijada una espiga de madera, de poco más de un centímetro de diámetro, cuyo extremo, romo, va engastado en el cuero, y es atado fuertemente por el lado opuesto de la membrana. Dicha espiga de madera, de unos 7 centímetros de longitud, tiene forma cónica, y va aguzada en la punta. Esto tiene por objeto el que en el extremo libre va colocada una varilla de caña, de unos 125 centímetros de longitud. Esta caña es la pieza que apropiadamente manipulada por el ejecutante vibra con la caja de resonancia, produciendo un sonido ronco, profundo, de registro grave, de gran sonoridad. Pudiera decirse que el furro es el bajo en la ejecución de la gaita y de la parranda. Este sonido fue grabado como parte de una entrevista realizada por Rafael Rondón, director del grupo "El Valle". Se realizó una grabación simple con un celular Sony y luego se editó con Audacity, se ecualizó y normalizó.

"The furruco or furro is a drum with leather and a rod, It is usually used in traditional Christmas music, as well as in the bagpipes of Zulia and Christmas bonuses. It is also used, in some towns, in the parranda. It is made up of a wooden box Cylindrical and slightly conical, it is covered by a vibrant, dry leather membrane. fixed to the drum with metal braces, so that it can be tempered according to the needs and taste of the interpreter. At the center of the membrane is fixed a wooden dowel, a little more than one centimeter in diameter, the blunt end of which is set in the leather, and is tightly tied on the opposite side of the membrane. Said wooden dowel, about 7 centimeters long, has a conical shape and is pointed at the tip. The purpose of this is that a cane rod, about 125 centimeters long, is placed at the free end. This reed is the piece that appropriately manipulated by the performer vibrates with the soundboard, producing a hoarse, deep, low register sound, with great sound. It could be said that the furro is the bass in the execution of the bagpipes and the party. This sound was recorded as part of an interview conducted by Rafael Rondón, director of the group "El Valle". A simple recording was made with a Sony cell phone and then it was edited with Audacity, it was equalized and normalized" See the interview with Rafael Rondón in https://musicaqueatta.blogspot.com/search/label/Gente%20que%20hace%20m%C3%BAsica
