Experience the authentic sounds of West Africa with Africa Heartwood Project Mali Krin Log Drum, a professional-grade African Kolokolo Slit Drum imported directly from Bamako. Each drum is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, hand-carved by village cultural artisans in Mali, using traditional methods passed down through generations. The drum is made from solid one-piece Hare hardwood, renowned for its durability and rich tonal qualities.

After import, each instrument undergoes a thorough cleaning, inspection, and tuning process to ensure the highest sound and quality standards. The wood is seasoned and thickly coated with shea butter, highlighting the beautiful wood grains while providing additional protection and a smooth finish. The professionally tuned keys, spaced a third to a fifth apart, offer clear, resonant tones, making this drum suitable for both professional musicians and enthusiasts.

The Mali Krin Log Drum is designed for versatility, allowing you to play not only the main keys but also the sides, handles, and thick ends, creating a wide range of sounds and rhythms. Each drum comes with a pair of 14-15" hardwood playing sticks, ready for immediate play.
