The African-style Aka 赤 Monkey Drum is crafted with a solid wooden handle and traditionally topped with a goatskin paddle—though materials may vary slightly. This vibrant red edition features black and white striped edging that highlights its playful, rhythmic character. Two solid wooden beads hang on either side of the drum, and when the handle is twisted, the beads strike the surface to produce its signature sound.
Lightweight and easy to play, this traditional hand drum is a perfect addition to classrooms, music corners, or cultural activity spaces. Monkey drums like this are an ideal way to introduce children to rhythm, world instruments, and musical creativity. The paddle on this version is slightly thicker than average, giving it a more resonant, warm tone.
