KOW Atumpan with Stick

The Atumpan is a type of Asante talking drum, which provides the bass part in Adowa dance assembles. Atumpan drum are also found in Fontomfrom ensembles. 

The body of the atumpan is made of wood, with a hollow interior. Its bottom is open, to increase its resonance. The drumhead is made of animal hide. The skin is held in place by tension cords. Atumpan is usually played in pairs, stand upright and beat the stretched drum heads with hooked sticks, the palm of your hands, or with fingers. 

Normally sold as a pair, we have one more available (pending reskinning!)
