Each drummer played his own rhythm which in 2 cases included blows on the side of the drum as well as on the membrane. Although double-headed, they were stood up on end for the performance, only one membrane being struck. Kalela dance song with 3 bass drums, cylindrical, laced, 2 wooden beaters each, double-headed.
