Large double-conical drums of West Africa with a tubular open foot at the base, played upright, usually in pairs, each being of a different pitch; one of the pair often has a jingle suspended across the drum head. They serve as talking drums on ceremonial occasions, and as accompaniment to ritual singing and dancing.
