Introducing the Percussion Plus Honestly Made Ghanaian sangban - 12"
The sangban is a double ended West African drum, traditionally played horizontally. As the middle of the three drums that make up the dundun family (pronounced djundjun), it is often used as the soloist instrument playing complicated rhythms to the ensemble.
The sangban is a wonderful addition to music education settings; its tone is high enough to cut through ensemble textures, but it still has excellent resonance, and a booming tone that makes it wonderfully satisfying to play.
These quality sangbans are hand carved in Ghana using traditional materials and methods, and are wrapped in brightly coloured, intricately patterned fabric. The two natural hide heads are rope tensioned to provide accurate pitch and create the perfect timbre to underpin djembe music and other ensembles.
This particular sangban can be combined with the PP6620 10” kenkeni and PP6622 14” dundunba to make a full dundun set.
