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 “bend" the pitch while the other hand employs a curved striker.
