Flamenco drumming usually requires short staccato sounds that go with the footwork (taconeo) and clapping (palmas). Compás (meter or rhythm) is fundamental to flamenco and without compas there is no flamenco. The compas can be created with a guitar, hand clapping, hitting a table with the knuckles or drumming.

According to Esflamenco.com, types of drums include:
  1. The Flamenco cajón, which is a box drum. The cajón made its appearance in flamenco music in the seventies. "It contributes to creating the rhythm that each flamenco palo (form) possesses. The way in which it works is very simple: by and large, it is a wooden box with one of the side boards missing, in its oldest and most basic version, or which has a hole in one of its sides."
  2. Tinaja, an earthenware jug.
  3. The bongos.
  4. The congas.
  5. The darbuka.
Popcussion.com has a great demonstration of how to use the cajon: http://www.popercussion.com/ENGLISH/learn.htm
