We need to bring back slit drum communication now
I found out about this thing called a tongue drum, and really all the instruments here are a kind of tongue drum as I think it just means the slits or tongues carved give it different pitches where you tap it. It has a lovely sound anyway, and this fellow plays so beautifully!
