They send messages of happiness, sorrow, war etc., to other tribes through the beating of the drum. They are called "Talking Drums" because they can produce a wide range of pitches by squeezing the drum under your arm as you strike the head. They are carved from a single piece of wood and have 8" goatskin heads. These are authentic talking drums that are brought over here from Ghana. There are 3 sizes. The 10" and 15" drums have a higher range of tones, while the 19" drum has tones that are of a deeper range. You can have one of each of these drums in your drumming circle to provide a great range of tones!
