Best Answer

Talking drums were played with the palms of the hand and beaters were not used. Some other variations of traditional drum have curved beaters. the reason for this is that when the drum is played while it is carried, the playing surface (or head) is too high to use straight beaters or sticks. Hence the curved beaters.
