This drum provides the low-end tempo in a drumming orchestration. Pa'umango (trns 'shark skin') = Bongo. Traditionally made using shark skin, but these days more generally goat skin. This drum provides a 'mellowing' of the whole drum orchestration from all the sharpness of the wooden drums. Pate/Tokere = Large wooden slit drum. Traditionally made out of Island Mahogany (Tamanu) and Pacific Rosewood (Miro). This drum is used to play the main beat of the orchestration. Pate Takirua/Tikita (trns 'double') = Smaller wooden slit drum. This provides a higher pitched sound and is played very fast while the Pate provides the main beat. Hope this helps!
