Ghanaian traditional drums play a central role in the country’s cultural heritage, serving as essential instruments in various ceremonies, celebrations, and everyday life. Here’s a brief overview of some key types:

1. Talking Drum (Dondo or Dundun): This hourglass-shaped drum is known for its ability to mimic the tonal patterns of human speech. It has ropes that can be tightened or loosened to change the pitch, allowing drummers to convey messages or express emotions.

2. Atumpan: Often referred to as the "talking drum of the Akan," the Atumpan is used in various ceremonies and is known for its deep, resonant tones. It’s played in pairs and is crucial in storytelling and ceremonial functions.
