Kpanlogo Drum - 'Unity'

Description: A dynamic design and richly-carved surface distinguish this handsome drum by Samuel Coleman. Its merging Ashanti biakuye symbols express unity and oneness. The kpanlogo drum is a revered element in the music and culture of the Ga tribe in Ghana's Greater Accra region, marking the rhythm for the traditional kpanlogo dance. However, its characteristic deep, loud sound makes it a popular instrument throughout West Africa. Coleman crafts this beautiful drum of tweneboa wood, affixing its calfskin drum head to wooden pegs with stout ropes. It is burnished to a rich sheen with brown and mansion polish.

"I purchased the djembe drum, "Kete", for my son's birthday after the two of us searched the Web for a djembe. He loved it and the price was within our agreed limit, which meant no wheedling for more money once we found the perfect drum. It arrived in perfect condition and a little sooner than we expected. It's handsome and sounds great, but the best part is that another student in his college Afro-Caribbean Ensemble told my son that their instructor is jealous because my son has a better drum than he has!"
