Side hole pot drum originally from Nigeria. Its low, haunting vibrations are as pure and as spiritual as a heartbeat. Its high pitch can be compared to the Indian tabla drum. It is similar in tone to the African talking drum, yet has a quality of sound that no skin covered drum can attain. You don't need any special techniques to get started. Any hand technique (conga, bongo, pandiero, tabla) will have you playing grooves! Includes straw ring stand.
