HOW TO PLAY DAGBON DRUM()

  Gung-gong

by:Alhaji Abubakari Lunna

Sound Quality

The gung-gong has musical call-and-response interaction between center strokes and edge strokes. Cords divide each head into two sonic zones: center strokes have a clean booming sound; edge strokes have a buzzing sound from the vibration of the snare-like cord. Alhaji tunes each gung-gong drum to its properly resonant relative pitch, which will vary according to the drum's materials, as well as temperature and humidity conditions.cont.reading
