Talking Drum by Emin Percussion

Talking drum originates from West Africa. It’s an hour-glass shaped drum that can imitate the tone and prosody of human speech. Due to its technical qualities this drum has tonal flexibility, so you can give a full performance by playing solo talking drum. It is a two-headed drum, the heads are attached to each other with leather tension chords. This drum is to be hang on the left shoulder so that it lies in an almost horizontal position under the left arm. The skin tension can be altered by the player so that the pitches of individual drumstrokes are different. Talking drum can be played by a stick or by hand. The talking drums we sell in our store are hand-made, constructed by masters.

I really like the talking drum. It's easily one of my favorite African percussion instruments.

[@ledzepgirl92]

It also has a super deep, rich history, and is meant to mimic the tonality of the Yoruba language.
