Big drum on ground, hand beaten, wine barrel. 2 Kirisu drums on ground (beaters) pegged open. 1 Tsakara corrugated iron strip on supports, 6 ft. long. 1 Punzu sable antelope horn. The 2 Kisusu drums were played by one man who beat an irregular rhythm against the three other drum's regular rhythm. The clappers were carefully made of sawn planks, blacked along the edges. The main dance of the GiTonga appears to be a kind of violent dance du ventre in which the hips and belly are rolled and shaken. The women and men coming out in pairs to dance in the centre of the ring. In both Zore II and III the order of appearance of the instrument is:- First Kirisu drums, then the 2 Chohodwani drums, then the Shikulu and then the corrugated iron Tsakara.

The Mutumbwe drums were both weighted with paste to lower their pitch, and had similar mirlitons. The large slit drum, Kunri, was insulated from the ground as it had no legs. In this respect the slit drums behave physically like a xylophone note and must be supported at the two nodes or they will not sound properly.

The Mutumbwe drums were both weighted with paste to lower their pitch, and had similar mirlitons. The large slit drum, Kunri, was insulated from the ground as it had no legs. In this respect the slit drums behave physically like a xylophone note and must be supported at the two nodes or they will not sound properly.
