ottoman military drum

Hi,
sorry havent gotten back to respond, Christmas and blizzards etc. The width of the drum is about 17 inches and the depth about 11, and the body is made from hand flattened metal, does not look copper. the sound from it is deep and amazing for the size of the drum. I actually did see the Mehter band perform a few times so seeing their drums compared to this one, left me doubting of its ottoman origin. But you never know. I had to have this, and the price i picked it up for, it well worth it.
so are still thinking its african?
