Meinl 7" X 12", African Talking Drum, Medium
SKU: ATD-MThe Meinl African Wood Talking Drum is a traditional West African percussion instrument carved from a single piece of mahogany into the classic hourglass shape, finished with a hand-carved decorative motif. Its dual goatskin heads are connected by nylon rope runners that allow the player to squeeze the drum under their arm to bend the pitch, producing the expressive "talking" tones that give this instrument its name. Whether used for cultural performances, world music ensembles, or adding authentic texture to studio recordings, this talking drum delivers a wide range of melodic, voice-like sounds that cut through any mix.
