TONGUE DRUM

"Tongue drums are known by many different names including Log Drums, Ozi Boxes, Teponaztli, or Xylodrums. Early tongue drums also had a wide variety of functions within different cultures from story telling to beating out war cries over long distances.Tongue drums are direct descendants of these ancient instruments, with a modern twist, harmonics and tuning. These amazing drums are gaining in musical popularity and finding their rightful place in recordings by artists from around the world."

Phil brought his Tongue Drum to the meeting before this last one. Like the description above mentions, this cool instrument gives a great accent to other music -- in our case, music provided by Chris & Phil on their D'Jembes -- while Allison experimented with the unusual sounds this tongue drum is capable of.
