Drums are a traditional African musical instrument played with bare hands. The entire instrument is hand made. The drum surface is leather made from animal hide/skin and the base is made of sturdy hollowed & carved wood, encircled with plain or braided rope. Some have designs etched into the base.
These drums are hugely popular in reggae and other cultural musical productions and since they became popular in the West you are never far from your local drum group.
Other sizes are also available - 14" - 17" - 20"
