=== Talking drum ===
While the tone and articulation of the [[:en:Hourglass|hourglass]]-shaped [[:en:Talking_drum|talking drum]] can be finely controlled, it cannot be heard at distances beyond a gathering or market-place, and it is primarily used in ceremonial settings.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Talking drum {{!}} African, West African, Musical Instrument {{!}} Britannica|url=https://www.britannica.com/technology/talking-drum|access-date=2025-11-17|website=www.britannica.com|language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt; Ceremonial functions could include dance, rituals, story-telling and communication of points of order.

In Africa, [[:en:New_Guinea|New Guinea]] and tropical areas of America, people have used drum telegraphy for centuries to communicate over long distances. When European expeditions came into the jungles to explore, they were surprised to find that people already knew they were coming and what their intentions were. By repeating a message in turn from one nearby location to another, African drummers can transmit that message a total distance of 100 miles in about an hour.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|last=Davis|first=Ernest|title=Information, from drums to Wikipedia|url=http://www.the-tls.co.uk/tls/public/article760768.ece|work=[[James Gleick]]. [[The Information: A History, a Theory, a Flood]]. 526pp. Fourth Estate. 978 0 00 722573 6|publisher=The Times Literary Supplement|date=23 August 2011|access-date=12 February 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130114011403/http://www.the-tls.co.uk/tls/public/article760768.ece|archive-date=14 January 2013|url-status=live}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Among the famous communication drums are the drums of [[:en:West_Africa|West Africa]] (see [[:en:Talking_drum|talking drum]]). From regions known today as [[:en:Nigeria|Nigeria]] and [[:en:Ghana|Ghana]] they spread across West Africa, and to the [[:en:United_States|America]] and the [[:en:Caribbean|Caribbean]] during the [[:en:History_of_slavery|slave trade]]. There they were banned because they were being used by the slaves to communicate over long distances in a code unknown to their enslavers.&lt;ref name=&quot;Epstein&quot;&gt;{{cite journal|first=Dena J.|last=Epstein|year=1963|title=Slave Music in the United States before 1860: A Survey of Sources (Part II)|journal=Music Library Association Notes|series=Second Series|volume=20|issue=3|pages=377–390|doi=10.2307/895685|jstor=895685}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Talking drums were also used in East Africa and are described by Andreus Bauer in the 'Street of Caravans', about his time as a security guard in the Wissmann Truppe for the caravan of Charles Stokes.

Some of the groups of variations of the talking drum among West African ethnic groups:

* '''Tama''' ([[:en:Wolof_people|Wolof]] of [[:en:Senegal|Senegal]])
* '''Gan gan''', '''Dun Dun''' ([[:en:Yoruba_people|Yoruba]] of [[:en:Nigeria|Nigeria]] and eastern [[:en:Benin|Benin]])
* '''Dondo''' ([[:en:Akan_people|Akan]] of central Ghana and [[:en:Côte_d'Ivoire|Côte d'Ivoire]])
* '''Lunna''' ([[:en:Dagomba_people|Dagomba]] of northern [[:en:Ghana|Ghana]]; [[:en:Mossi_people|Mossi]] of [[:en:Burkina_Faso|Burkina Faso]])
* '''Kalangu''' ([[:en:Hausa_people|Hausa]] of northern [[:en:Nigeria|Nigeria]], [[:en:Niger|Niger]], northern [[:en:Ghana|Ghana]], [[:en:Benin|Benin]] and [[:en:Cameroon|Cameroon]])
* '''Doodo''' ([[:en:Songhai_people|Songhai]] and [[:en:Zarma_people|Zarma]] of [[:en:Mali|Mali]], [[:en:Burkina_Faso|Burkina Faso]], and [[:en:Niger|Niger]])

In the 20th century the talking drums have become a part of popular music in West Africa, especially in the music genres of [[:en:Jùjú_music|Jùjú]] (Nigeria) and [[:en:Mbalax|Mbalax]] (Senegal).&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Jùjú music {{!}} Research Starters {{!}} EBSCO Research|url=https://www.ebsco.com/|access-date=2025-11-17|website=EBSCO|language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;

=== Slit gongs ===
Message drums, or more properly [[:en:Slit_gong|slit gongs]], with hollow chambers and long, narrow openings that resonate when struck, are larger all-wood instruments hollowed out from a single log. Slit-log drums are common in the drum communication systems of [[:en:Papua_New_Guinea|Papua New Guinea]], where they are known in [[:en:Tok_Pisin|Tok Pisin]] as ''[[:en:Garamut|garamut]]''.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title=Becoming a Garamut Player in Baluan, Papua New Guinea Musical Analysis As a Pathway to Learning|last=Lewis, Tony|isbn=9781315406480|oclc=1033693900|date=2018-04-19|publisher=Routledge}}&lt;/ref&gt; Variations in the thickness of the walls give varying tones when struck by the heavy wooden [[:en:Percussion_mallet|drum sticks]]. While some are simple and utilitarian, they can also be highly elaborate works of sculpture while still retaining their function.

A long slit is cut in one side of a log, then it is hollowed out through the slit, leaving lips (wooden ledges) on each side of the opening. Using a larger log enables a louder sound that can be heard over longer distances. By hollowing more under one lip and less under the other, the drum can be [[:en:Musical_tuning|tuned]] to produce two different notes, a lower and a higher one. The drum's lips are hit with sticks, beating out rhythms of high and low notes. Small stands are often placed under each end of the drum to keep it off the ground and let it vibrate more freely.

Under ideal conditions, the sound can be understood at {{convert|3|to(-)|7|mi|order=flip|spell=in|km|0}},&lt;ref name=&quot;OLAp470&quot;&gt;{{cite book|last=Finnegan|first=Ruth|title=Oral Literature in Africa|year=2012|publisher=Open Book Publishers|location=Cambridge, UK|isbn=978-1-906924-72-0|page=470|url=https://unglue.it/work/81834/|quote=&quot;Drum messages can be heard at a distance of between three to seven miles, according to Carrington 1949b: 25.&quot;}}&lt;/ref&gt; but interesting messages usually get relayed on by the next village. Drums used by the [[:en:Bulu_people|Bulu people]] of Cameroon might be heard as far away as 10 to 15 miles at night, compared to three to four during daytime.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal|last=Good|first=AI|title=Drum Talk Is the African's &quot;Wireless&quot;|year=1942|journal=Natural History Magazine|url=https://www.naturalhistorymag.com/htmlsite/editors_pick/1942_09_pick.html}}&lt;/ref&gt;

=== Cambarysu ===
The [[:en:Catuquinaru|Catuquinaru]] tribe of Brazil reportedly used a drum called the [[:en:Cambarysu|cambarysu]] to send vibrations through the ground to other cambarysus up to 1.5&amp;nbsp;km away.&lt;ref name=&quot;Prometheus&quot;&gt;''Prometheus: Illustrierte Wochenschrift über die Fortschritte'', volume 20 (1908)&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;EHG&quot;&gt;Enrico Hillyer Giglioli, ''Il &quot;Cambarysú&quot;: telefono dei Catuquinarú dell'Amazzonia'' (1898)&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Ensign&quot;&gt;[http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&amp;d=ME18981213.2.16&amp;cl=&amp;srpos=0&amp;e=-------10--1----0-- ''The original of the telephone''], ''Mataura Ensign'', issue 520, 13 December 1898, page 4]&lt;/ref&gt; Some scholars expressed skepticism about the claim that it sent vibrations through the ground (rather than the air), and about the claim that it existed.&lt;ref name=&quot;Prometheus&quot; /&gt;

== What is transmitted ==
Two different types of traditional drum communication are found in Africa. The first type associates each idea with a particular rhythmic pattern, and the second type represents spoken utterances by mimicking their accentual profiles.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|last=Cohen|first=Jeremy|date=2010-11-27|title=Speaking in Rhythm — Drums That Talk, Voices That Drum - ThisWorldMusic|url=https://thisworldmusic.com/speaking-in-rhythm-drums-that-talk-voices-that-drum/|access-date=2026-04-19|language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Drum communication methods are not languages in their own right, though they can be based on spoken languages. In such cases, the sounds produced are conventionalized or idiomatic signals based on speech patterns. The drummed messages are normally very stereotyped and context-dependent; speakers of true languages have the ability to form new combinations and expressions that will immediately be understood by the listener, but that is not the case in drum communication.

In Central and East Africa, drum patterns represent the [[:en:Stress_(linguistics)|stresses]], [[:en:Syllable|syllable]] lengths and [[:en:Tone_(linguistics)|tone]] of the particular language. In [[:en:Tone_language|tone languages]], where syllables are associated with a certain tone, some words are distinguished only by their [[:en:Prosody_(linguistics)|suprasegmental profile]]. Therefore, syllable drum languages can often transfer a message using the [[:en:Phoneme|tonal phonemes]] alone.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|date=2020-05-04|title='Talking Drums': Long-Distance Communication in Early Africa|url=https://brewminate.com/talking-drums-long-distance-communication-in-early-africa/|access-date=2026-04-19|language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;

In certain languages, the pitch of each syllable is uniquely determined in relation to adjacent syllables. In these cases, messages can be transmitted as rapid beats at the same speed as speech, as the rhythm and melody both match the equivalent spoken utterance.

Misinterpretations can occur due to the highly ambiguous nature of the communication. The ambiguity is reduced by context effects and the use of [[:en:Stock_phrase|stock phrases]].

=== Talking drum ===
While the tone and articulation of the [[:en:Hourglass|hourglass]]-shaped [[:en:Talking_drum|talking drum]] can be finely controlled, it cannot be heard at distances beyond a gathering or market-place, and it is primarily used in ceremonial settings.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Talking drum {{!}} African, West African, Musical Instrument {{!}} Britannica|url=https://www.britannica.com/technology/talking-drum|access-date=2025-11-17|website=www.britannica.com|language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt; Ceremonial functions could include dance, rituals, story-telling and communication of points of order.

In Africa, [[:en:New_Guinea|New Guinea]] and tropical areas of America, people have used drum telegraphy for centuries to communicate over long distances. When European expeditions came into the jungles to explore, they were surprised to find that people already knew they were coming and what their intentions were. By repeating a message in turn from one nearby location to another, African drummers can transmit that message a total distance of 100 miles in about an hour.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|last=Davis|first=Ernest|title=Information, from drums to Wikipedia|url=http://www.the-tls.co.uk/tls/public/article760768.ece|work=[[James Gleick]].

Among the famous communication drums are the drums of [[:en:West_Africa|West Africa]] (see [[:en:Talking_drum|talking drum]]). From regions known today as [[:en:Nigeria|Nigeria]] and [[:en:Ghana|Ghana]] they spread across West Africa, and to the [[:en:United_States|America]] and the [[:en:Caribbean|Caribbean]] during the [[:en:History_of_slavery|slave trade]]. There they were banned because they were being used by the slaves to communicate over long distances in a code unknown to their enslavers.&lt;ref name=&quot;Epstein&quot;&gt;{{cite journal|first=Dena J.|last=Epstein|year=1963|title=Slave Music in the United States before 1860: A Survey of Sources (Part II)|journal=Music Library Association Notes|series=Second Series|volume=20|issue=3|pages=377–390|doi=10.2307/895685|jstor=895685}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Talking drums were also used in East Africa and are described by Andreus Bauer in the 'Street of Caravans', about his time as a security guard in the Wissmann Truppe for the caravan of Charles Stokes.

Some of the groups of variations of the talking drum among West African ethnic groups:

* '''Tama''' ([[:en:Wolof_people|Wolof]] of [[:en:Senegal|Senegal]])
* '''Gan gan''', '''Dun Dun''' ([[:en:Yoruba_people|Yoruba]] of [[:en:Nigeria|Nigeria]] and eastern [[:en:Benin|Benin]])
* '''Dondo''' ([[:en:Akan_people|Akan]] of central Ghana and [[:en:Côte_d'Ivoire|Côte d'Ivoire]])
* '''Lunna''' ([[:en:Dagomba_people|Dagomba]] of northern [[:en:Ghana|Ghana]]; [[:en:Mossi_people|Mossi]] of [[:en:Burkina_Faso|Burkina Faso]])
* '''Kalangu''' ([[:en:Hausa_people|Hausa]] of northern [[:en:Nigeria|Nigeria]], [[:en:Niger|Niger]], northern [[:en:Ghana|Ghana]], [[:en:Benin|Benin]] and [[:en:Cameroon|Cameroon]])
* '''Doodo''' ([[:en:Songhai_people|Songhai]] and [[:en:Zarma_people|Zarma]] of [[:en:Mali|Mali]], [[:en:Burkina_Faso|Burkina Faso]], and [[:en:Niger|Niger]])

In the 20th century the talking drums have become a part of popular music in West Africa, especially in the music genres of [[:en:Jùjú_music|Jùjú]] (Nigeria) and [[:en:Mbalax|Mbalax]] (Senegal).&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Jùjú music {{!}} Research Starters {{!}} EBSCO Research|url=https://www.ebsco.com/|access-date=2025-11-17|website=EBSCO|language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;

=== Slit gongs ===
Message drums, or more properly [[:en:Slit_gong|slit gongs]], with hollow chambers and long, narrow openings that resonate when struck, are larger all-wood instruments hollowed out from a single log. Slit-log drums are common in the drum communication systems of [[:en:Papua_New_Guinea|Papua New Guinea]], where they are known in [[:en:Tok_Pisin|Tok Pisin]] as ''[[:en:Garamut|garamut]]''.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title=Becoming a Garamut Player in Baluan, Papua New Guinea Musical Analysis As a Pathway to Learning|last=Lewis, Tony|isbn=9781315406480|oclc=1033693900|date=2018-04-19|publisher=Routledge}}&lt;/ref&gt; Variations in the thickness of the walls give varying tones when struck by the heavy wooden [[:en:Percussion_mallet|drum sticks]]. While some are simple and utilitarian, they can also be highly elaborate works of sculpture while still retaining their function.

A long slit is cut in one side of a log, then it is hollowed out through the slit, leaving lips (wooden ledges) on each side of the opening. Using a larger log enables a louder sound that can be heard over longer distances. By hollowing more under one lip and less under the other, the drum can be [[:en:Musical_tuning|tuned]] to produce two different notes, a lower and a higher one. The drum's lips are hit with sticks, beating out rhythms of high and low notes. Small stands are often placed under each end of the drum to keep it off the ground and let it vibrate more freely.

Under ideal conditions, the sound can be understood at {{convert|3|to(-)|7|mi|order=flip|spell=in|km|0}},&lt;ref name=&quot;OLAp470&quot;&gt;{{cite book|last=Finnegan|first=Ruth|title=Oral Literature in Africa|year=2012|publisher=Open Book Publishers|location=Cambridge, UK|isbn=978-1-906924-72-0|page=470|url=https://unglue.it/work/81834/|quote=&quot;Drum messages can be heard at a distance of between three to seven miles, according to Carrington 1949b: 25.&quot;}}&lt;/ref&gt; but interesting messages usually get relayed on by the next village. Drums used by the [[:en:Bulu_people|Bulu people]] of Cameroon might be heard as far away as 10 to 15 miles at night, compared to three to four during daytime.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal|last=Good|first=AI|title=Drum Talk Is the African's &quot;Wireless&quot;|year=1942|journal=Natural History Magazine|url=https://www.naturalhistorymag.com/htmlsite/editors_pick/1942_09_pick.html}}&lt;/ref&gt;

=== Cambarysu ===
The [[:en:Catuquinaru|Catuquinaru]] tribe of Brazil reportedly used a drum called the [[:en:Cambarysu|cambarysu]] to send vibrations through the ground to other cambarysus up to 1.5&amp;nbsp;km away.&lt;ref name=&quot;Prometheus&quot;&gt;''Prometheus: Illustrierte Wochenschrift über die Fortschritte'', volume 20 (1908)&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;EHG&quot;&gt;Enrico Hillyer Giglioli, ''Il &quot;Cambarysú&quot;: telefono dei Catuquinarú dell'Amazzonia'' (1898)&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Ensign&quot;&gt;[http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&amp;d=ME18981213.2.16&amp;cl=&amp;srpos=0&amp;e=-------10--1----0-- ''The original of the telephone''], ''Mataura Ensign'', issue 520, 13 December 1898, page 4]&lt;/ref&gt; Some scholars expressed skepticism about the claim that it sent vibrations through the ground (rather than the air), and about the claim that it existed.&lt;ref name=&quot;Prometheus&quot; /&gt;

== What is transmitted ==
Two different types of traditional drum communication are found in Africa. The first type associates each idea with a particular rhythmic pattern, and the second type represents spoken utterances by mimicking their accentual profiles.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|last=Cohen|first=Jeremy|date=2010-11-27|title=Speaking in Rhythm — Drums That Talk, Voices That Drum - ThisWorldMusic|url=https://thisworldmusic.com/speaking-in-rhythm-drums-that-talk-voices-that-drum/|access-date=2026-04-19|language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Drum communication methods are not languages in their own right, though they can be based on spoken languages. In such cases, the sounds produced are conventionalized or idiomatic signals based on speech patterns. The drummed messages are normally very stereotyped and context-dependent; speakers of true languages have the ability to form new combinations and expressions that will immediately be understood by the listener, but that is not the case in drum communication.

In Central and East Africa, drum patterns represent the [[:en:Stress_(linguistics)|stresses]], [[:en:Syllable|syllable]] lengths and [[:en:Tone_(linguistics)|tone]] of the particular language. In [[:en:Tone_language|tone languages]], where syllables are associated with a certain tone, some words are distinguished only by their [[:en:Prosody_(linguistics)|suprasegmental profile]]. Therefore, syllable drum languages can often transfer a message using the [[:en:Phoneme|tonal phonemes]] alone.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|date=2020-05-04|title='Talking Drums': Long-Distance Communication in Early Africa|url=https://brewminate.com/talking-drums-long-distance-communication-in-early-africa/|access-date=2026-04-19|language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;

In certain languages, the pitch of each syllable is uniquely determined in relation to adjacent syllables. In these cases, messages can be transmitted as rapid beats at the same speed as speech, as the rhythm and melody both match the equivalent spoken utterance.

Misinterpretations can occur due to the highly ambiguous nature of the communication. The ambiguity is reduced by context effects and the use of [[:en:Stock_phrase|stock phrases]]. For example, in [[:en:Jabo_(language)|Jabo]], most stems are monosyllabic. By using a [[:en:Proverb|proverb]] or honorary title to create an expanded version of the name of a person, animal, or object, the indistinguishable single beat of an ordinary name can be replaced with a particular rhythmic and melodic [[:en:Motif_(music)|motif]] for each subject.

=== Talking drum ===
The '''talking drum''' is an [[:en:Hourglass_drum|hourglass-shaped drum]] from West Africa, which can be used as a form of speech surrogacy by regulating its pitch and rhythm to mimic the [[:en:Tone_(linguistics)|tone]] and [[:en:Prosody_(linguistics)|prosody]] of human speech.&lt;ref name=&quot;Gershon&quot;&gt;{{cite journal|last1=Gershon|first1=Livia|title=How Does the West African Talking Drum Accurately Mimic Human Speech?|journal=Smithsonian Magazine|date=2021-07-27|url=https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/how-west-african-drums-really-talk-180978296/|access-date=2021-08-04}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|last=Gninyomo|first=Luc|date=2021-08-14|title=What Is a Talking Drum in Africa?|url=http://www.sheenmagazine.com/what-is-a-talking-drum-in-africa/|access-date=2023-02-11|website=Sheen Magazine|language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt; It has two [[:en:Drumhead|drumheads]] connected by leather tension cords. It is often played while being held under the arm. The player can change the [[:en:Pitch_(music)|pitch]] of the drum by tightening and loosening the cords between their arm and body.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Talking Drum|url=https://percussion.byu.edu/talking-drum|access-date=2026-02-25|website=BYU Percussion Techniques|language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Originating from the 18th century, talking drum players used [[:en:Tone_(linguistics)|tones]] to disseminate messages, such as news of ceremonies and commands, over {{convert|4|-|5|mi|adj=on}} distances.&lt;ref name=&quot;:0&quot;&gt;{{cite book|last=Ong|first=Walter|title=Interfaces of the Word: Studies in the Evolution of Consciousness and Culture|year=1977|page=101}}&lt;/ref&gt;

A skilled player is able to play whole phrases. Most talking drums sound like a human humming depending on the way they are played.{{fact|date=January 2026}}

Similar hourglass-shaped drums are found in Asia, but they are not used to mimic conversation, although the [[:en:Idakka|idakka]] is used to mimic vocal music.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|title=Acoustics of Idakkā: An Indian snare drum with definite pitch|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/324828208|journal=The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America|year=2018|doi=10.1121/1.5038111|last1=Jose|first1=Kevin|last2=Chatterjee|first2=Anindya|last3=Gupta|first3=Anurag|volume=143|issue=5|pages=3184–3194|pmid=29857748|bibcode=2018ASAJ..143.3184J}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Five varieties of ''dùndún'' pressure drums of the Yoruba and the ''atumpan'' and ''fontomfrom'' of the Asante (Ashanti) are especially notable. They send messages up to distances of {{convert|20|mi|km}}, where other drummers relay them, quickly spreading news.{{fact|date=January 2026}}

While the tone and articulation of the [[:en:Hourglass|hourglass]]-shaped [[:en:Talking_drum|talking drum]] can be finely controlled, it cannot be heard at distances beyond a gathering or market-place, and it is primarily used in ceremonial settings.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Talking drum {{!}} African, West African, Musical Instrument {{!}} Britannica|url=https://www.britannica.com/technology/talking-drum|access-date=2025-11-17|website=www.britannica.com|language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt; Ceremonial functions could include dance, rituals, story-telling and communication of points of order.

In Africa, [[:en:New_Guinea|New Guinea]] and tropical areas of America, people have used drum telegraphy for centuries to communicate over long distances. When European expeditions came into the jungles to explore, they were surprised to find that people already knew they were coming and what their intentions were. By repeating a message in turn from one nearby location to another, African drummers can transmit that message a total distance of 100 miles in about an hour.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|last=Davis|first=Ernest|title=Information, from drums to Wikipedia|url=http://www.the-tls.co.uk/tls/public/article760768.ece|work=[[James Gleick]].

Among the famous communication drums are the drums of [[:en:West_Africa|West Africa]] (see [[:en:Talking_drum|talking drum]]). From regions known today as [[:en:Nigeria|Nigeria]] and [[:en:Ghana|Ghana]] they spread across West Africa, and to the [[:en:United_States|America]] and the [[:en:Caribbean|Caribbean]] during the [[:en:History_of_slavery|slave trade]]. There they were banned because they were being used by the slaves to communicate over long distances in a code unknown to their enslavers.&lt;ref name=&quot;Epstein&quot;&gt;{{cite journal|first=Dena J.|last=Epstein|year=1963|title=Slave Music in the United States before 1860: A Survey of Sources (Part II)|journal=Music Library Association Notes|series=Second Series|volume=20|issue=3|pages=377–390|doi=10.2307/895685|jstor=895685}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Talking drums were also used in East Africa and are described by Andreus Bauer in the 'Street of Caravans', about his time as a security guard in the Wissmann Truppe for the caravan of Charles Stokes.

Some of the groups of variations of the talking drum among West African ethnic groups:

* '''Tama''' ([[:en:Wolof_people|Wolof]] of [[:en:Senegal|Senegal]])
* '''Gan gan''', '''Dun Dun''' ([[:en:Yoruba_people|Yoruba]] of [[:en:Nigeria|Nigeria]] and eastern [[:en:Benin|Benin]])
* '''Dondo''' ([[:en:Akan_people|Akan]] of central Ghana and [[:en:Côte_d'Ivoire|Côte d'Ivoire]])
* '''Lunna''' ([[:en:Dagomba_people|Dagomba]] of northern [[:en:Ghana|Ghana]]; [[:en:Mossi_people|Mossi]] of [[:en:Burkina_Faso|Burkina Faso]])
* '''Kalangu''' ([[:en:Hausa_people|Hausa]] of northern [[:en:Nigeria|Nigeria]], [[:en:Niger|Niger]], northern [[:en:Ghana|Ghana]], [[:en:Benin|Benin]] and [[:en:Cameroon|Cameroon]])
* '''Doodo''' ([[:en:Songhai_people|Songhai]] and [[:en:Zarma_people|Zarma]] of [[:en:Mali|Mali]], [[:en:Burkina_Faso|Burkina Faso]], and [[:en:Niger|Niger]])

In the 20th century the talking drums have become a part of popular music in West Africa, especially in the music genres of [[:en:Jùjú_music|Jùjú]] (Nigeria) and [[:en:Mbalax|Mbalax]] (Senegal).&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|title=Jùjú music {{!}} Research Starters {{!}} EBSCO Research|url=https://www.ebsco.com/|access-date=2025-11-17|website=EBSCO|language=en}}&lt;/ref&gt;

=== Slit gongs ===
Message drums, or more properly [[:en:Slit_gong|slit gongs]], with hollow chambers and long, narrow openings that resonate when struck, are larger all-wood instruments hollowed out from a single log. Slit-log drums are common in the drum communication systems of [[:en:Papua_New_Guinea|Papua New Guinea]], where they are known in [[:en:Tok_Pisin|Tok Pisin]] as ''[[:en:Garamut|garamut]]''.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book|title=Becoming a Garamut Player in Baluan, Papua New Guinea Musical Analysis As a Pathway to Learning|last=Lewis, Tony|isbn=9781315406480|oclc=1033693900|date=2018-04-19|publisher=Routledge}}&lt;/ref&gt; Variations in the thickness of the walls give varying tones when struck by the heavy wooden [[:en:Percussion_mallet|drum sticks]]. While some are simple and utilitarian, they can also be highly elaborate works of sculpture while still retaining their function.

A long slit is cut in one side of a log, then it is hollowed out through the slit, leaving lips (wooden ledges) on each side of the opening. Using a larger log enables a louder sound that can be heard over longer distances. By hollowing more under one lip and less under the other, the drum can be [[:en:Musical_tuning|tuned]] to produce two different notes, a lower and a higher one. The drum's lips are hit with sticks, beating out rhythms of high and low notes. Small stands are often placed under each end of the drum to keep it off the ground and let it vibrate more freely.

Under ideal conditions, the sound can be understood at {{convert|3|to(-)|7|mi|order=flip|spell=in|km|0}},&lt;ref name=&quot;OLAp470&quot;&gt;{{cite book|last=Finnegan|first=Ruth|title=Oral Literature in Africa|year=2012|publisher=Open Book Publishers|location=Cambridge, UK|isbn=978-1-906924-72-0|page=470|url=https://unglue.it/work/81834/|quote=&quot;Drum messages can be heard at a distance of between three to seven miles, according to Carrington 1949b: 25.&quot;}}&lt;/ref&gt; but interesting messages usually get relayed on by the next village. Drums used by the [[:en:Bulu_people|Bulu people]] of Cameroon might be heard as far away as 10 to 15 miles at night, compared to three to four during daytime.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal|last=Good|first=AI|title=Drum Talk Is the African's &quot;Wireless&quot;|year=1942|journal=Natural History Magazine|url=https://www.naturalhistorymag.com/htmlsite/editors_pick/1942_09_pick.html}}&lt;/ref&gt;

=== Cambarysu ===
The [[:en:Catuquinaru|Catuquinaru]] tribe of Brazil reportedly used a drum called the [[:en:Cambarysu|cambarysu]] to send vibrations through the ground to other cambarysus up to 1.5&amp;nbsp;km away.&lt;ref name=&quot;Prometheus&quot;&gt;''Prometheus: Illustrierte Wochenschrift über die Fortschritte'', volume 20 (1908)&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;EHG&quot;&gt;Enrico Hillyer Giglioli, ''Il &quot;Cambarysú&quot;: telefono dei Catuquinarú dell'Amazzonia'' (1898)&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Ensign&quot;&gt;[http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&amp;d=ME18981213.2.16&amp;cl=&amp;srpos=0&amp;e=-------10--1----0-- ''The original of the telephone''], ''Mataura Ensign'', issue 520, 13 December 1898, page 4]&lt;/ref&gt; Some scholars expressed skepticism about the claim that it sent vibrations through the ground (rather than the air), and about the claim that it existed.&lt;ref name=&quot;Prometheus&quot; /&gt;

== Deɛ ɛde to dwa ==
Two different types of traditional drum communication are found in Africa. The first type associates each idea with a particular rhythmic pattern, and the second type represents spoken utterances by mimicking their accentual profiles.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|last=Cohen|first=Jeremy|date=2010-11-27|title=Speaking in Rhythm — Drums That Talk, Voices That Drum - ThisWorldMusic|url=https://thisworldmusic.com/speaking-in-rhythm-drums-that-talk-voices-that-drum/|access-date=2026-04-19|language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Drum communication methods are not languages in their own right, though they can be based on spoken languages. In such cases, the sounds produced are conventionalized or idiomatic signals based on speech patterns. The drummed messages are normally very stereotyped and context-dependent; speakers of true languages have the ability to form new combinations and expressions that will immediately be understood by the listener, but that is not the case in drum communication.

In Central and East Africa, drum patterns represent the [[:en:Stress_(linguistics)|stresses]], [[:en:Syllable|syllable]] lengths and [[:en:Tone_(linguistics)|tone]] of the particular language. In [[:en:Tone_language|tone languages]], where syllables are associated with a certain tone, some words are distinguished only by their [[:en:Prosody_(linguistics)|suprasegmental profile]]. Therefore, syllable drum languages can often transfer a message using the [[:en:Phoneme|tonal phonemes]] alone.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|date=2020-05-04|title='Talking Drums': Long-Distance Communication in Early Africa|url=https://brewminate.com/talking-drums-long-distance-communication-in-early-africa/|access-date=2026-04-19|language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;

In certain languages, the pitch of each syllable is uniquely determined in relation to adjacent syllables. In these cases, messages can be transmitted as rapid beats at the same speed as speech, as the rhythm and melody both match the equivalent spoken utterance.

Misinterpretations can occur due to the highly ambiguous nature of the communication. The ambiguity is reduced by context effects and the use of [[:en:Stock_phrase|stock phrases]]. For example, in [[:en:Jabo_(language)|Jabo]], most stems are monosyllabic. By using a [[:en:Proverb|proverb]] or honorary title to create an expanded version of the name of a person, animal, or object, the indistinguishable single beat of an ordinary name can be replaced with a particular rhythmic and melodic [[:en:Motif_(music)|motif]] for each subject. In practice not all listeners understand all of the stock phrases; the drum language is understood only to the level of each person's immediate concern.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last1=Franich|first1=Kathryn H.|last2=Lendja Ngnemzué|first2=Ange B.|date=2021-06-16|title=Feeling the Beat in an African Tone Language: Rhythmic Mapping Between Language and Music|journal=Frontiers in Communication|volume=6|article-number=653747|doi=10.3389/fcomm.2021.653747|doi-access=free|issn=2297-900X}}&lt;/ref&gt;

The drum's lips are hit with sticks, beating out rhythms of high and low notes. Small stands are often placed under each end of the drum to keep it off the ground and let it vibrate more freely.

Under ideal conditions, the sound can be understood at {{convert|3|to(-)|7|mi|order=flip|spell=in|km|0}},&lt;ref name=&quot;OLAp470&quot;&gt;{{cite book|last=Finnegan|first=Ruth|title=Oral Literature in Africa|year=2012|publisher=Open Book Publishers|location=Cambridge, UK|isbn=978-1-906924-72-0|page=470|url=https://unglue.it/work/81834/|quote=&quot;Drum messages can be heard at a distance of between three to seven miles, according to Carrington 1949b: 25.&quot;}}&lt;/ref&gt; but interesting messages usually get relayed on by the next village. Drums used by the [[:en:Bulu_people|Bulu people]] of Cameroon might be heard as far away as 10 to 15 miles at night, compared to three to four during daytime.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite journal|last=Good|first=AI|title=Drum Talk Is the African's &quot;Wireless&quot;|year=1942|journal=Natural History Magazine|url=https://www.naturalhistorymag.com/htmlsite/editors_pick/1942_09_pick.html}}&lt;/ref&gt;

=== Cambarysu ===
The [[:en:Catuquinaru|Catuquinaru]] tribe of Brazil reportedly used a drum called the [[:en:Cambarysu|cambarysu]] to send vibrations through the ground to other cambarysus up to 1.5&amp;nbsp;km away.&lt;ref name=&quot;Prometheus&quot;&gt;''Prometheus: Illustrierte Wochenschrift über die Fortschritte'', volume 20 (1908)&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;EHG&quot;&gt;Enrico Hillyer Giglioli, ''Il &quot;Cambarysú&quot;: telefono dei Catuquinarú dell'Amazzonia'' (1898)&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;Ensign&quot;&gt;[http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&amp;d=ME18981213.2.16&amp;cl=&amp;srpos=0&amp;e=-------10--1----0-- ''The original of the telephone''], ''Mataura Ensign'', issue 520, 13 December 1898, page 4]&lt;/ref&gt; Some scholars expressed skepticism about the claim that it sent vibrations through the ground (rather than the air), and about the claim that it existed.&lt;ref name=&quot;Prometheus&quot; /&gt;

== Deɛ ɛde to dwa ==
Two different types of traditional drum communication are found in Africa. The first type associates each idea with a particular rhythmic pattern, and the second type represents spoken utterances by mimicking their accentual profiles.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|last=Cohen|first=Jeremy|date=2010-11-27|title=Speaking in Rhythm — Drums That Talk, Voices That Drum - ThisWorldMusic|url=https://thisworldmusic.com/speaking-in-rhythm-drums-that-talk-voices-that-drum/|access-date=2026-04-19|language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;

Drum communication methods are not languages in their own right, though they can be based on spoken languages. In such cases, the sounds produced are conventionalized or idiomatic signals based on speech patterns. The drummed messages are normally very stereotyped and context-dependent; speakers of true languages have the ability to form new combinations and expressions that will immediately be understood by the listener, but that is not the case in drum communication.

In Central and East Africa, drum patterns represent the [[:en:Stress_(linguistics)|stresses]], [[:en:Syllable|syllable]] lengths and [[:en:Tone_(linguistics)|tone]] of the particular language. In [[:en:Tone_language|tone languages]], where syllables are associated with a certain tone, some words are distinguished only by their [[:en:Prosody_(linguistics)|suprasegmental profile]]. Therefore, syllable drum languages can often transfer a message using the [[:en:Phoneme|tonal phonemes]] alone.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite web|date=2020-05-04|title='Talking Drums': Long-Distance Communication in Early Africa|url=https://brewminate.com/talking-drums-long-distance-communication-in-early-africa/|access-date=2026-04-19|language=en-US}}&lt;/ref&gt;

In certain languages, the pitch of each syllable is uniquely determined in relation to adjacent syllables. In these cases, messages can be transmitted as rapid beats at the same speed as speech, as the rhythm and melody both match the equivalent spoken utterance.

Misinterpretations can occur due to the highly ambiguous nature of the communication. The ambiguity is reduced by context effects and the use of [[:en:Stock_phrase|stock phrases]]. For example, in [[:en:Jabo_(language)|Jabo]], most stems are monosyllabic. By using a [[:en:Proverb|proverb]] or honorary title to create an expanded version of the name of a person, animal, or object, the indistinguishable single beat of an ordinary name can be replaced with a particular rhythmic and melodic [[:en:Motif_(music)|motif]] for each subject. In practice not all listeners understand all of the stock phrases; the drum language is understood only to the level of each person's immediate concern.&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite journal|last1=Franich|first1=Kathryn H.|last2=Lendja Ngnemzué|first2=Ange B.|date=2021-06-16|title=Feeling the Beat in an African Tone Language: Rhythmic Mapping Between Language and Music|journal=Frontiers in Communication|volume=6|article-number=653747|doi=10.3389/fcomm.2021.653747|doi-access=free|issn=2297-900X}}&lt;/ref&gt;
