African Talking Drum made with PVC pipe or wood shell. It is an hourglass shap drum from West Africa, whose pitch can be regulated to mimic human speech. It has two drum heads connected by rope, which allow the player to modulate the pitch of the drum by squeezing the ropes between their arm and body. The drum can thus capture the pitch, volume, and rhythm of human speech, though not the qualities of the vowels or consonants.
Junk Percussion Workshop. PVC and found materials. Drum, rattle, coffee can drum, beater.
The frame drum is one of the most ancient musical instruments; it is thought to be the first drum to be invented. A frame drum is a drum that has a drumhead width greater than its depth. Usually the single drum head is made of rawhide.
Ocean Drum
The ocean drum is a percussion instrument that can produce soothing sounds which sound just like the ocean.. The ocean drum is held by the frame, with the heads horizontal, and played by rolling the wrists so the drum gently tilts in all directions. The metal beads inside roll over the bottom head like water rolling over the shore. Different speeds produce different sounds. Stopping and starting suddenly creates crashing wave sounds. It bears a similar resemblance to the frame drum pictured above. 
The Pandeiro is a type of hand frame drum popular in Brazil, which has been described as an unofficial instrument of that nation.
PVC Pipe Ashiko. New pipe obtained from construction sites. Very cool marks and abrasions.
