500 ## - GENERAL NOTE
General note A wooden log drum, also referred to as a slit drum or tongue drum, is a traditional percussion instrument that consists of a hollowed-out log or wooden box with slits or tongues of varying lengths carved or cut into its surface. These slits or tongues are what produce the instrument’s distinct tones when struck with mallets, sticks, or even hands. Log drums come in many sizes, from small handheld instruments to large, stationary ones that require multiple players to operate. These log drums were not only used for music but also served as a means of communication within communities. The instrument’s ability to produce different tones made it suitable for conveying messages across long distances, with specific rhythms and patterns representing specific meanings.
500 ## - GENERAL NOTE
General note A pate is made by cutting a hardwood branch or tree trunk and removing the bark. A number of holes are drilled in a straight line, then the bits between them are chiselled out to form a long opening. The most important part of the process is working out how much wood should be hollowed out from the centre slit as this, along with the shape of the opening, determines how high or low the pitch of the drum will be. Made of one piece of wood, hollowed out in centre.
