FOUND A MODERN EXAMPLE OF A DRUM WITH A STICK OF THE SIMULAR SHAPE. REFERRED TO AS A TALKING DRUM, FOUND IN WEST AFRICA AND SURROUNDING AREAS WHERE ITS USE LIKELY SPREAD.
SIMULAR SHAPED DRUM STICKS MAY BE USED ELSEWHERE AND PERHAPS A SIMULAR FORM OF STICK MAY INDEED BE USED ON INUIT AND OTHER TRIBES AND PERHAPS EVEN IN TIBET??
ANYWAY THEY HAVE A HAND HELD DRUM IN AFRICA USING THIS STICK FORM.
