How To Tune A Talking Drum
To all those who requested for this, im sorry it took so long..
(Sorry I left this step out in the video) If you notice at the end of completely tuning the drum it brings at a high pitched tone, this indicates that you've correctly tuned the drum. After that you are to use the string that should be provided on your drum to tie and keep the drum tied for as long as needed unto the tone changes back to a low pitched tone which indicates that the drum is ready for playing again.

yes it's supposed to be high pitched, if you notice at the end when I hit the drum with hand it was high pitched. after that you are to tie it back with the string in order for it to come down again, as in toe it unto the sound becomes low. Once it's low again it'll be ready for you to play. (Sorry I left this last step out)
Thanks ever so much. I'm very grateful. I was so close to buying a new one because the skin had become so loose and flat. Can't wait to untie it and play it. Once again thank you and may God continue to bless you.

Hi Samuel, I just found your channel and your videos, and I think they are all really cool! I am an amateur talking drummer who is blind, and I am fascinated with this instrument, its beauty, its Tonality,and its history. I have a traditional talking drum that was made for me in Ayete, Oyo State, Nigeria. Although this does not have to do with the video, I would really like to know what the different parts of the talking drum are called in Yoruba.
Yea please if you'll be able to get in touch with Samson to make a tutorial of some nigerian guitar music? And also Mike if you can get in touch him to make a tutorial video of drum beats and flows with talking drum? This vid was really helpful as well, keep up the good work and God bless.
Good work thanks.
good job, weldone Sambay

groovymrnate7 glory to God. It’s only when the drum gets really low and you’re struggling to get the high tones out of the drum. If you tune the drum to much it’ll definitely tear

That is good to know. I also watched one of your videos where you went over the rim shot. I tried that and I heard some really nice sounds that sounded like a ring modulator effect. I don’t do the rim shot that much because I don’t wanna risk putting a hole in the drum head whenever I play on the edge. That’s the warning from some other instructors but I’m interested in knowing what your thoughts are on it. My talking drum has these interesting overtones that I’m trying to explore. Thank you for everything you do.
