Description

The African-style Adesu Monkey Drum is crafted with a smooth natural wooden handle and typically features a goatskin paddle—though materials may vary. Highlighted by its black and white striped edge detailing, this traditional handheld drum is both visually striking and acoustically engaging. Two solid wooden beads are attached on either side, and when the handle is twisted, the beads rhythmically strike the drum surface to produce its distinctive sound.

Lightweight and easy to handle, this classic hand drum is a fantastic addition to any classroom or music space. It’s especially effective for introducing children to rhythm and world instruments, blending creative play with musical education. The paddle is thicker than many other monkey drums, resulting in a more resonant and warm tone.
