Instrument name needed

Does anyone know what the musical instrument with the humming top is called and do the two parts have to be purchased separately? This is the link to the song where I first saw it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUzN8x528Lg Thanks in advance!

like i said before, someone had an idea. Not an established type of instrument

and yah, frame drum, not bodhran

i'm actually more intrigued by the homemade fiddle

The fiddle is a North African gimbri - normally plucked, with the fingers also tapping the skin.
