Terre Ghanaian Water Drums 12 inch and 16 inch

• Materials:* Each drum is made from the sturdy, natural shell of a specially selected pumpkin, ensuring durability and an authentic aesthetic.
• Structure:* The large outer shell is filled with water, creating a resonant body that amplifies sound. A smaller shell floats inverted within the water, allowing for innovative sound production and interaction.
• Sound Variability:* The smaller shell can be played with a very soft mallet, producing soothing and melodic tones. By releasing air from the smaller shell, you can alter the pitch, creating a diverse range of sounds to suit any musical style or mood.

They embody the spirit of community and creativity, making them an excellent addition to any musical ensemble or a unique gift for music lovers. Experience the enchanting sounds of our Ghanaian Water Drums and bring a piece of West African culture into your home!

The Terre "Udu Oben" is an incredible drum !

This Udu Oben beats the competition hands down . It's a better sounding drum , being louder and having much better bass and treble tones, with one small adjustment. I take a 2 oz."Americana" plastic acrylic paint bottle , empty 3/4's of the paint out of it and use it as a spacer between your leg and the underside of the drum neck right past the lip of the large hole of the drum . This elevates the drum off of your leg giving it incredible clear volume and crystal clear bell tone highs.
