Ashiko Drum
5 videos • 199 views • by Shaw Percussion The ashiko drum has a tapered cone shape and is played with your hands, producing a crisp, dry slap, similar to a conga, and a round open tone and bass sounds. Shaw Percussion ashikos are fitted with a thick, strong water buffalo hide that provides both the durability and the distinct tone that differentiates it from other hand percussion. We use high quality, low-stretch Kevlar rope specially designed for our hand drums to not only look attractive but keep your drum in tune. .
