"Sandrine Malary - some haitian drum makers are trying out other methods for stretching, thus tuning both the Rada (pegs) & Petwo (rings) drums. They are borrowing from other cultures."
Daniel Brevil Jeannine Osayande: "I was in Ghana for the presidential swearing in, on the ground floor, so to speak. This is the Royal Fontonfrom drum played at the inaugural ceremony. I'm standing. The drum is over 6ft tall. And yes I was that close to the action. It was amazing. This is a Sankofa shot. I'm creating a visual metaphor."
Except for that royal drum, the others all have six pegs.
