The small talking drum, or dondo as it is called in Ghana, is one of the most unusual African instruments. You squeeze it under your arm as you strike it with your other hand using a curved beater (supplied), thereby creating an infinite range of tones. Really good musicians can mimic the tones of language and actually "talk" through the drum.
These small
African talking
drums are designed with stronger rawhide rope and more verticals
than the standard drums in order to make them more durable. |
