I recently acquired a square ( 12x12 inch) Adufe drum from Potuagal. It is made of maple with calfskin heads. I removed a corner of the top head and removed the five small square pieces of wood that give the hand-held drum it's "rattle" effect. Next,when the head was re-fastened, I placed this old drum on a snare stand, miced it and incorpoated it into my kit just for fun. This old drum booms out like a native tom-tom in a pow wow! I won't use it often but, it sure gives a cool effect on some songs!
Has anyone had any experience with these drums? What did you think?
As always, thank you very much.
Brian
