The talking drum gets its name from its ability to mimic the tone and rhythm of human speech. Traditionally used in West African cultures, it can convey messages over long distances by imitating the patterns of local languages. Players can modulate the pitch and volume of the drum by squeezing its curved sides, allowing them to produce sounds that resemble speech, thus earning it the name "talking drum."
