Schlagwerk 60101 10-Tone Log Drum, F-Pentatonic

General

Did you know this slit drum can be used as both an instrument and an analogue means of communication? In various parts of Africa, South-East Asia and Oceania, slit drums are traditionally used to communicate across large distances. By strategically setting up the instrument near a river or in a valley, different tones can be produced and heard from miles away.

The Schlagwerk 60101 Log Drum: 10 Tones, F-Pentatonic

This 10-tone log drum is the largest that can be found in Schlagwerk's collection and measures 60 x 20 x 18 cm (W x L x H). Since it's hollow and features ten tongues varying in length and thickness, this instrument made of African padauk shapes a characteristically full and warm sound. To create melodies or beat sequences, you can play ten different tones across the F-pentatonic scale by striking the tongues with a mallet.

• Please note: This product includes the log drum only. Recommended mallets can be found in the accessories.
