One of the Toba Batak cultures is the Taganing , a traditional musical instrument consisting of five drums with different heights and diameters that produce different tones and are played by two players. The purpose of this study is to explore what mathematical concepts exist in the Taganing  musical instrument so that it can be implemented in learning mathematics.This research uses qualitative with ethnography methods with research instruments in the from of observation and documentation. The results of this study indicate that the Taganing  musical instrument contains the concept of geometry and integral calculus.
