Product Description

This traditional bell, called "atoke" in Ghana, is made in Togo and Ghana by blacksmiths using hand bellows and rudimentary forges. Traditionally it would be used to mark the beat in many ceremonies; the bell plays an important part in many percussion ensembles. Experiment to discover the different sounds you can achieve! Since the bells are handmade, size will vary; the length is usually about 8". Please note: this bell will be prone to rust, due to the material used and the climate in which it is stored. To remove any rust build-up, the manufacturer recommends using 0000 steel wool (very fine steel wool) - rub it over the bell for a few seconds and then wipe the bell off with a soft cloth. About 2 minutes per bell is all that is needed to remove any surface rust, but be aware that a reddish tone may remain on the bell (this is not harmful in any way). Alternately, the bell can be painted to prevent rust. It is NOT recommended to rub oil on the surface of the bell to prevent the rust, since residual oil can stain clothing and hands when the bell is played. If oil is used, be sure to use a very small amount and wipe it off well once it has been applied. ... Read more

Product Description

Bongos (bon-gos) are an important part of the Afro-Cuban family of rhythm instruments. Normally held between the player's knees and played with the fingertips, the bongos have a high pitched sound that can be clearly heard over the other instruments. Like many drums and percussion instruments from around the world, the sound of the bongo is different when played at the edge of the head and the middle of the head. Bongo players combine these sounds and rhythms between the high and low bongo drums to create "patterns" that other players and listeners can easily recognize. 6 1/2" by 5/6". ... Read more

Product Description

The Tabla is a goblet shaped Egyptian hand drum. It is a member of the Doumbek family of drums. In Egypt the style of playing is distinct. The neck of the drum is usually wide and so it lets the sound go out quickly, which makes the sound crisp and loud. The earlier ones made in Egypt, of clay, many times have goat or fish skin heads. The really nice ones, they paint or inlay with mother of pearl. Sometimes they inlay with bone, wood or plastic, whatever material they have around. A lot of the designs come from life, from masks, or from carpets. Modern tablas can be made of aluminum. ... Doumbeks: Drums in this family are goblet shaped, and played with the hands. Their sounds range from very deep to high. ... Traditionally, the doumbek was made of clay, with a head of goat or fish skin. Some are inlaid with bits of shell, wood, or plastic. Today many of these drums are made of modern materials, such as aluminum, with a Mylar head. They may be embossed, painted, or covered with vinyl. Others are made of copper, and sometimes plated with brass or chrome. ... The Doumbek comes from the Middle East and North Africa, Turkey, Bulgaria, and Persia. In Egypt they call it tabla. In Israel it is the doumbek, darbeke in Syria, tombak in Persia, darbuga in Morocco. ... Traditionally the doumbek would be accompanied. A Middle Eastern ensemble could include the riq (Arabic tambourine) and dof (frame drum), and some melodic instruments, such as the ney and long flute, the oud (the Middle Eastern lute) and the violin, kanun or santur, in Persia. The doumbek is the main instrument for folk music and belly dance, because of its wide range of sounds. It's been used in pop music, fusion, drum circles, and therapy. ... Read more

Drum Circle Standout
Very light weight and great voice (once the skin had dried out from shipping) makes this drum perfect for practice or drum circles.It has a strong round dum, and even this rank beginner with weak fingers got nice sharp teks.The finish (shell inlay) is very nicely done.My only concern is that the strings holding the head are very thin, like what bakers use to wrap cake boxes.The skin looks glued, so maybe the strings don't have to do much.That's why I gave it a four.With better lacing I'd have given it a five.(Remember - at this price, we're not looking for professional quality.) ...
