Exactly what you referred to them as: drums. In reality, however, you can't call all african drums by one name.....otherwise they would all be the exact same drum haha! Just to give you an idea, here are some of the different types of African Drums: Djembe Talking Drum Bata Bougarabou Ngoma Check out videos and recordings of the different types and you'll realize how unique each drum is!
Referring to the Drums in Guinea, the Djembe is a common instrument with an open rolling style. Other African drums such as Surdos, shekeres, agogo bells and the geille have all originated from other parts of the continent. Please excuse my spelling.
Yes, African drums are still used today. They are played throughout Africa in drum circles, in bands, and in all forms of music productions. Modern African artists such as Jono Booth still use African drums in high end modern productions.
Some of the most popular African Drums are the Djembe (my personal favorite), the Talking Drum, Bata, Bougarabou, and the Ngoma. Look up videos of all of them being played...they all have similar qualities but each one produces a unique sound!
