African Water Drum
African Water Drum
Experience the rich, traditional sound of Ghana with this beautifully handcrafted African Water Drum, made from a natural calabash. This unique percussion instrument produces deep, resonant tones and is traditionally played by striking the surface of the calabash with the included wooden mallets.
Each water drum is handcrafted, giving every piece its own natural character, colour, and texture. It can be used for traditional African music, cultural performances, music education, meditation, or as a distinctive decorative piece.
