Guide To African Percussion And Drums
A lot of percussion instruments and drums have their roots in Africa. It has been the tradition that African instruments, including percussion instruments and drums are part of the communication system along with celebrations. Several types of drums and percussion instruments remain prevalent in Africa, with a few styles more common than others. There are many drum styles available, plus unique drum decorations, so you can customize your instrument.
The Djembe Drums
Traditionally djembe drums are carved from one hollowed block of wood. The drum's essential contour is like that of an hourglass, and its head is typically manufactured from the hide of a goat. The tuning of authentic djembe drums is done with braided roping that encircles the instruments' shells, and modern versions incorporate man-made material. The drum is versatile, and a single head produces a vast array of sounds.
An Overview of Dundun Drums
Dundun drums are a shaped like a hollowed cylinder. They use double heads and are tuned via rope. The drum's tonal qualities are governed by the thickness, length, and diameter of the walls of the drum. The material and thickness of the heads also have an impact on the voice of this drum. You can perform on a dundun using a stick or playing with your hands. The drum often has a bell attached along the side. This drum is traditionally played sideways with one hand playing the head and the other playing the bell.
Kpanlogo Drums
Tracing back to Ghana in Africa, kpanlogo drums are distinguished in appearance from the rest of the drums originating on the continent. The drum’s body is shaped like a modern conga drum, but it actually has pegs that hold the ropes in place. The look of the drum is unique thanks to its ropes that line the drum from the head to the pegs. The drum size can vary, as does the tone; the larger the drum, the lower the tone it produces. In groups, a single player can play as many as three or four kpanlogo drums at a single time.
Hand Percussion
Small percussion instruments that are hand held have a lot of variability. Agogo bells, blocks made of wood, different types of shakers, cabassas as well as maracas all initially came from Africa. These unique instruments add flavor and a variety of voices when played in a group, taking any ensemble to the next level. Percussion instruments played by hand offer a good way to encourage greater participation in musical performances. Children, older people and those that are handicapped can play an auxiliary percussion as part of drum circles, renditions and parties.
