A talking drum is an African percussion instrument known for its ability to mimic the tonal patterns of human speech. It typically has an hourglass shape and is played with a curved stick, allowing the drummer to vary the pitch by squeezing the drum's body with their arm. Traditionally used for communication and storytelling within various cultures, it serves both musical and social functions, often accompanying dances and ceremonies. The talking drum is particularly associated with the Yoruba people of Nigeria but is found in various forms across West Africa.

What were the '' talking drums''?
The talking drum is a West African drum whose pitch can be regulated to the extent that it is said the drum "talks". The player puts the drum under one shoulder and beats the instrument with a stick. A talking drum player raises or lowers the pitch by squeezing or releasing the drum's strings with the upper arm. This can produce highly informative sounds to convey complicated messages. The ability to change the drum's pitch is analogous to the language tonality of some African languages.
