Our new Extra Large Talking Drums measure 24 inches tall and have a head size of 10 inches. Many of our customers wanted a larger, more professional talking drum which was capable of producing more volume and with greater tonal range. We had these Dondo drums built to meet these requirements. They are strung with a durable nylon non-stretch rope and come with a Talking Drum mallet.
We all know drums are the oldest instruments in the world and are often used to communicate. These Dondo drums, also known as Talking Drum, Adondo, Atumpan or Gan Gan drums are unique in that they can simulate the inflections of the human voice.
These drums are mostly used in Northern Africa. Their pitch is changed, while playing, by simply squeezing the drum under your arm. They are great fun to play and accompany any drum in the circle. These drums feature; goat skin heads, construction of a single piece of wood, strong leather lacing for easy tensioning while playing and durability. A specially designed beater is included so you can give your hands a break.
