On Tuesday 16 August, the Rhythm Interactive Drum Show visited our school. Each person in the Senior and Middle School had their own drum. The drum is called a djembe, which is a hand drum that originated among the Manding people of West Africa. Djembes, because of their shape, are capable of producing a range of tones and sounds. Generally, djembes are made of wood, with an animal skin stretched over the top. The drum leaders did not speak during the show but used mime to get their message across.
