What the heck are these percussion instruments?

« on: April 08, 2008, 06:56 AM »

Help! - I could do with some light being shed on my ignorance here.

I've been asked by a client to auction a batch of ethnic indigenous percussion instruments via ebay but I don't know what most of them are!

Any help identifying them would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers - Andy

In order of appearance:

Balafon (African Xylophone)
Hudak (Talking Drum)
Timba or Timbal (Brazilian drum)
Bongos
Maraca or Gourd Shaker
Kids Drum (quasi Native American)
Pueblo Drum
Egyptian Bongos
Metal Doumbek (brass?)
Bongos

Since I'm helping you sell these instruments, perhaps you or your client can send the Drummer Cafe a donation!

Not only an impressive knowledge of the instruments Bart, but an impressive response time!

The techniques, though they play an important role in the early stage, should not be too restrictive, complex or mechanical. If we cling to them, we will become bound by their limitation. Any technique, however worthy and desirable, becomes a disease when the mind is obsessed with it.
