A Talking Drum is so called because it can produce a wide range of
tones that travel well and can be used for communication as well as music-making.
The drum can be made to "talk" by holding it under your arm and squeezing the ropes
to alter the tension on the heads and vary the sound.

Well know as an African drum, talking drums of different designs
have been used for centuries in ceremonies around the world.
