The names of the drums in a basic cook island drum set are as follows:
Pa'u (translated 'skin') = Bass drum. Generally made using calf skins. This drum provides the low-end tempo in a drumming orchestration.
Pa'umango (trns 'shark skin') = Bongo. Traditionally made using shark skin, but these days more generally goat skin. This drum provides a 'mellowing' of the whole drum orchestration from all the sharpness of the wooden drums.
Pate/Tokere = Large wooden slit drum. Traditionally made out of Island Mahogany (Tamanu) and Pacific Rosewood (Miro). This drum is used to play the main beat of the orchestration.
Pate Takirua/Tikita (trns 'double') = Smaller wooden slit drum. This provides a higher pitched sound and is played very fast while the Pate provides the main beat.

Where did NSW's name come from?
Captain James Cook, on his voyage of discovery and mapping of the eastern coast of Australia, named the entire eastern coast New Wales. This included all the area east of New Holland, which was approximately where the state of Western Australia lies. Later in his journal, Cook changed the name to "New South Wales". However, Cook did not elaborate on why he called the land "New South Wales", so we can only speculate that it reminded him of South Wales. Cook claimed the east coast under the orders of England's King George III on 22 August 1770 at Possession Island, which is when he formally named it New South Wales. His actual words were: "I now once more hoisted English Coulers and in the Name of His Majesty King George the Third, took possession of the whole Eastern Coast [of New Holland] from the above Latitude down to this place by the name of New South Wales." The name "Australia" was not used until after it was suggested by explorer Matthew Flinders in the early 1800s.
