This beautiful drum is one of Ghana's works of art.
The feel of the drum, the texture of the top, the kente lining at the top edges, the fabric that adorns it and the engraved artwork that fills the base just makes me love culture.
Timbre-wise, Atumpans are more mid-range and complement the bass Fontomfroms well. Both of these types of drums are covered with a medium to heavy cow skin.
