cocoanut tree and covered over one end with sharkskin. It was generally
used in pairs, one larger than the other, somewhat after the idea of
the bass and tenor drums of civilized nations. One of these drums was
placed on either side of the performer, and the drumming was performed

drum out whatever he wished to express in such a way, it is alleged,
as to be intelligible to initiated listeners without uttering a single
syllable with the voice.
