African Drums That You Can't Stop Thumping!
The rhythm of African drums actually gets to you "you can't ignore it: it will get your toes tapping and you feel drawn in by the strong, resonating beat and special sound of these traditional instruments that have endured for decades and are still well-liked the world over. Their influence has spread to various nations, most clearly the Caribbean, the West Indies and Latin America.
Perhaps one of the reasons they are so popular is that they do not need you to be well placed to read music or have great musical talent: if you have got a sense of rhythm you can love playing these drums for several hours. In spite of their primitive simplicity: they are so basic; goblet shaped, made generally of hardwood with goatskin stretched ott; they have an enduring appeal and are played widely even today.
There are many firms which specialise in the manufacture and distribution of these fantastic instruments and you will have no Problems in finding a source for them. Among the premiere brands are Remo, Tiger, Kambala, Toca and Meinl. Some African drums are now manufactured in manmade materials, but if you can get your hands on a genuine drum, made in Africa, even though it is sort of old, don't hesitate to purchase it, as you will have a treasure in your possession.
Go to almost any African village and you are likely to hear someone playing African drums, generally with an audience of one or two kids gathered around, with some listening and others dancing carelessly to the inspiring rhythm. There are authentic videos posted on You Tube, picturing just such scenes. You'll hear them being played in bars in Jamaica or in towns and hamlets in Nicaragua or Brazil. After you have the drum in your possession, it is prepared to be played and the more you play it, the more at ease you will be with the instrument. Play a chunk of acceptable music on a CD and go with the music with the drum. You will find inexhaustible ways of effortless entertainment for hours.
The most famous African drums are the Djembe Drum, djun djun, bougarabou, gadzo, conga and kpanlogo but there are others and they have all played an important role in African culture and religion for many years. They're used at marriages, funerals, to celebrate births, in ritual dances, at the installation of chiefs and in several rites. To Africans they are an essential part of life and an irreplaceable accompaniment in the assorted events associated with African culture. Check out the many sites devoted to these drums and consider buying a few for yourself: you may own history and be linked to the oldest customs in the world.
Claudia Kasen favours the sound of African music particularly the Doumbek Drum. View her big variety of pretty real African drums at her internet site thru the link provided.
