Drum played with the hands (5)
I believe the answer is:
bongo
'drum played with the hands' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for bongo that I've seen before include "Type of drum - central African antelope" , "Throw; stopper" , "Drum between the knees" , "Cuban instrument" , "Small drum; antelope" .)
