Nigerian Log Drums

African Telephones !

These log drums, or obrom as they are called in Nigeria, are hand-carved from a solid log using only a chisel, hammer, and machete.

With 2 or 4 distinct tones, they are used to communicate within a village using a method similar to our Morse Code. They have a beautiful resonance and sound great at drum circles because their tone cuts through the sound of many other drums.

Each log drum comes with two mallets and the larger two sizes also come with a woven stand.
