Nelly Andrews "Wanna Be" learning drums from Josiah Phiri
Josiah is teaching me some rhythms on a Senegalese drum. These drums sound incredible. They have many different tones depending on how and where the hand strikes the drum. As shown in the picture, the drum is tipped forward so that the sound can escape the bottom and the hands strike the drum at an angle. Josiah can really let it rip. The drums are used in ceremonies and general entertainment. Senegal is known for drums. it is not uncommon to hear drummers practicing as we walk through neighborhoods. Nelly, if there is anyway we can get one of these home I will personally give you a lesson.
