SAMOAN
DRUMS IN STOCK
These
are traditional handcarved Samoan Slit Drums called PATE or, when they
are very larger, LALI, in the Samoan language and are played with one or two
sticks which are sometimes custom-made for the user. They are made from one
block of the Samoan Ironwood called Ifilele and can be VERY heavy in
weight depending on the length and girth so costly to ship the larger drums.
The more traditional ones are carved in a slight boat shape, and have a hollowed
out central resonating cavity.These have beautifully carved traditional design
on both sides. A feature of traditional Polynesian Slit Drums generally is the
presence at each end of a small cavity paralleling the depth and width of the
central slit and these 'ears' are said to improve the drum's sound.
The drums below are all in stock and ready to be shipped. If a different size
of drum is required then I may be able to order one, depending on which design
is wanted. Please email me if you wish to order.
