Toca Freestyle Series Talking Drum with Beater

Freestyle Talking DrumTo hear a talking drum in the hands of a West African master is an unforgettable experience. It is an art to fully release the potential of such a magic drum, but learning to do so is pleasurable each step of the way. The Toca Freestyle Series Talking Drum offers delightful experiences in an authentic styled unit priced extremely modestly.

Toca Freestyle Talking Drums provide their signature undulating changes in pitch by means of squeezing and releasing any of the multiple chords running the length of the shell while simultaneously playing the head. The result of tension manipulations are pitch bends, low grumbles and babbles, topped by shrieks, all resembling the inflections of the human voice.

The Toca Freestyle Talking Drum is constructed from an extremely lightweight and durable shell and is strung with authentic goatskin heads, chosen for optimum flex to produce the range of "talking tones". Each drum stands 16" tall and is fitted with a 7" head. Each drum comes with an authentic-style curved beater. An African mask design completes the indigenous look.

The tones are authentic, as is the technique for coaxing them out of the light-weight shell. For anyone contemplating the Talking Drum experience, the Toca Freestyle Series Talking Drum is affordably priced.
