Adowa Wood djembe drum, 'Adowa' Delivery by December 25th guaranteed with STANDARD (Normal) shipping ($0.00) if payment received by 12/3/2008Read more details about our shipping guarantee by Samuel Coleman Artist Bio & Reviews Due to my interest in all things cultural things, I then decided to get involved in artworks, especially carving - drums to be specific. View other items by this artist Adowa is a fascinating dance performed by the Akan people on traditional occasions. Samuel Coleman recalls its movements through the ordered diamond textures carved into this djembe drum. Using tweneboa wood, Samuel Coleman creates stunning percussion instruments empowered by the magic of West African design. Once the body is ready, dried goatskin is stretched over the top and tightened with iron rod rings wrapped in cotton cloth to prevent rusting. A network of nylon rope further affixes the drumhead to the body. Remarkable resonance and unmatched visual appeal make this drum a perfect acquisition for the beginner and expert alike. To play, sit on the edge of a chair with ankles crossed, the top of the drum fitting neatly between the knees as the base of the drum rests behind the heels. This way the drum is angled away from the player. Sitting up straight with hands resting on the drum's playing surface, the wrists should become flat and will then be in position to create the standard djembe sounds. Djembes produce three basic sounds: bass, tone, and slap. BASS: With the hand flat and fingers together, place the hand at the dimension of two fists above the center of the playing surface. Allow the hand to strike and bounce back to the original position above the center. TONE: This is the high-pitched sound produced by striking the top surface nearest the edge with firmly placed fingers. SLAP: Strike the playing surface's edge first with the heel of the hand, and then allow the fingers to naturally bounce down towards the drum's center.

I was hesitant to purchase a drum online without actually handling it and playing it. It arrived on time and is a beautiful piece of work. I am enjoying the crisp voice of my new drum. This djembe is my new favourite amongst my other drums. Thank you. - M.
