Slit Drums

With the slit drum you set the beat!

The slit drum was traditionally used as a signalling instrument in ritual music. In light music, they set the beat and coordinate the use of dancers. Sergei Prokofiev, Aaron Copland and Benjamin Britten used slit drums in their compositions in the mid-20th century. Today, slit drums are also used in music education. We have a wide selection of slit drums for you to choose from.
