Cylindrical Drum

A cylindrical drum made from a metal oil drum, with a single skin stretched over one end with fibre ties. This shares some of the features of the dundu and kollo drums - both large cylindrical drums, usually played with curved or L-shaped sticks, and normally made from wood.The Sierra Leone National Museum accession register states, however, that this drum was beaten by the hands.
