Description

  • Mahogany shell: Meinl talking drums are carved from a solid piece of mahogany and offer unmatched tonal range and resonance
  • Hand selected goat skin heads: The heads are secured and tuned by spanning nylon ropes, which are squeezed to bend the notes of the drum to offer warm tone for both high and low pitch
  • Wooden striker included: The drum includes a curved wooden beater in order to play the instrument with proper technique and achieve optimal sound quality
  • Carved design: The shell is formed into an hourglass shape and decorated with a hand-carved motif in an earthy design
  • Traditional sound: these drums originated in West Africa and are still used today in the music of the Yoruba people

The MEINL African Talking Drums are carved into an hourglass shape from a solid piece of Mahogany wood, and decorated with a carved motif. Two hand-selected goatskin heads are spanned with high-quality nylon rope. Traditionally, the talking drum is played beneath one arm, and held against the ribcage. The drum is then squeezed to €œbend€ the pitch while the other hand employs a curved striker.
