Is that a baculum!?

Very versatile. Much more affordable than the modular synth!

so you're telling me i don't even need a roland to make ghetto house

Simplified we have say, 10 graduations of
Where to hit the skin
How hard to hit
What angle to hit
How much to slide the hit
Where to damp the skin
How hard to damp
How many fingers (area) to damp
The timing between hitting and damping
When to squeeze the pitch
How far to squeeze the pitch
The rate to squeeze the pitch
The squeeze dynamic profile

Probably more variables, but those alone give him 10
^12 = a trillion possibilities. Take that, ADSR synthesisers!

Prof. Bisi Adeleke made so much impacts on me. He taught me Adrican Music -Appreciation between 1986 and 1988. I was one of the last sets he taught before he relocated to the US.
May the Lord grant his soul a sweet repose.

Fever Ray

Seems pretty easy to get stuck playing on one of these for a few hours. :b

Came here thanks to Smithsonian online :)

So... the fingertips are for muting mostly, the stick is to make sound and the arm changes pitch with the strings??? That is SO cool!

that was amazing!!!

What did he say through the beats?

This is so cool! I found a drum like this at a decor store. It didn't have the strings, just the hourglass shape. Such a cool way to play a drum

You are the best!

The master. I've known him for years. He played many times at our festival. Nobody's better than him.

Very nice! That drum used in the first song has a very wide tunable range in pitch. Is the pitch changed by just squeezing the drum with your arm?

This is incredibly amazing !

Wow. This stunning.

The Funk

That looks like A LOT of fun....

That dude is phenomenal. That is very very hard to play.
I bet his women is fond of his hands as well.
