Gourd Drum - Fiesta

fiesta gourd drum (larger image)

Description: Abstract patterns in bold hues bring a festive air to a traditional deymuro drum. Juan León Ponce crafts the instrument from a mate gourd engraved with colorful motifs. Resonant cowhide drumheads emit a lively beat when the cumala wood handle is twisted back and forth.

Because each drum is an individual work of art, the shape, tone and motifs can vary slightly.
