Medium African talking drum

They Can Really Talk!

The medium African 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 medium talking drums are designed with stronger rawhide rope and more verticals than the standard drums in order to make them more durable.
