African tambourine

Look at your personal development orientation. I started from the traditional rhythm, and folk accompaniment is my great hobby. Rhythm is everywhere. If you are willing to find it, you can get out of it.

1. If traditional West African songs must be played with authentic African tambourines. The most authentic African tambourine is hollowed out of hardwood, without any splicing, just a piece of wood, hollowed out inside to make a drum. At present, the general trend in the world is to replace wooden drums with other materials. These materials include FRP, PVC and cardboard, and there are good examples at present. The drum skin is generally goatskin, and the pure white goatskin is chemically treated and has a clean appearance. Conducive to promotion. There is also raw goatskin without chemical treatment, which is divided into hairy and hairless, and its appearance is relatively rough. Some people may think it's dirty, but the tone is good. If you have the ability, buy a hand-made purchasing drum made by indigenous people in West Africa.

2. If it is accompanied by pop music or folk songs, the requirements for drums are not very high, and low-end tambourines can also play tricks. REMO, LP and Mayer all have low-priced tambourines. There are also many musicians making hand-made African tambourines in China. I bought my drum with my friends. Produced in Yunnan, using mango wood from Myanmar, not losing to Africa. The price is also moderate.

3. If you are interested and qualified, you can try Middle East Drum, Kahong Drum (wooden drum) and Konka Drum, which are also quite fun. Young people should try more and find more opportunities to contact different percussion instruments. Rhythm is everywhere, and your body is a body cavity if you want.

If in doubt, keep asking questions, there is no need to ask them.
