FAQ About The Cultural Significance of Traditional African Drumming
What is a talking drum and how does it work?
A talking drum is an hourglass-shaped instrument that can replicate the pitch and tones of spoken language. It works by adjusting the tension of the drumhead through its strings, which can be squeezed under the arms while the drummer plays. The versatility in pitch allows drummers to emulate the rhythm and intonation of spoken words, making it an effective tool for communication.
