Description
Pearl's Rope Tuned Wood Ashiko features a beautiful hand-carved decorative finish. The origin of Ashiko drums can be traced back to West Africa and the Yoruba tribe. The Ashiko is a close relative to the djembe and its sound is complementary to the djembe when played together in drum circles or ensembles. The long tapered cylinder of the Ashiko produces lower bass notes than djembes, with rich mid-tones. Carved from a solid Mahogany log, the Pearl Ashiko is 22" tall and features a 12" goat skin head. 14 EZ Twist Rope Tuners are attached, allowing you to raise the drum's pitch quickly.
Traditional ashikos are tuned using the excess rope on the drum. The head is tightened by weaving triangles through the vertical ropes with the extra rope. The more triangles you weave, the tighter the head becomes. To simplify this process, the Pearl Hand Carved Ashiko includes 14 EZ Twist Rope Tuners. Twist the tuners over to increase the tension.
