The talking drum is a distinctive traditional musical instrument originating from Africa. The talking drum holds deep cultural and historical significance in Africa. It remains relevant even today, with its variable sound resonating in rural areas.
It plays a role in various cultural ceremonies, events and performances.
- Playing Technique: The drum is typically held underneath the arm and played with a small curved stick. This technique allows the player to produce different tones and rhythms.
- Adjustable Pitch: The drum's pitch can be adjusted by manipulating the tension of the drum's strings. Pulling the string tightens the animal hide surface, resulting in a higher pitch. This feature provides a dynamic range of sounds.
- Construction Material: The drum is crafted using traditional materials. The surface is made of animal hide, which is stretched over the drum's frame. The cords are strung with rope, and the base is hand-carved from wood. This combination of natural elements contributes the drum's sound quality.
- Dimension: The drum stands at a height of 9-10 inches with a diameter of 7 inches
- Lightweight
- Made in Nigeria
