Awesome. I've first read about talking drums in a book by James Gleick. It's fascinating that you can communicate with this instrument.

I am Uruguayan, where there is a type of music called Candombe, which is played only with drums. I would love it if we could get together, the Uruguayan candombists and the Yoruba drummers, and see what we get out of it. We could learn a lot from each other, that's for sure!

I'm Yoruba and I know he's not the best in the land, the talking drum is a fixed part of the Yoruba culture, what is actually amazing is that a drum has that many tones coming out of it, ive tried playing it and im not that good so you definitely he's really amazing at it, but a lot of Yoruba drummers I witnessed in my time living in Yoruba land are very good at playing amazing melodies on this drum also.

You have no idea. You’re controlling air within the drum. So the possibilities of sound is up the imagination of the player, endless. This video just scratches the surface. Mainly, he is only showcasing pitch bending.

Umm... he was a virtuoso. Many West and Central African languages are tonal languages, and that can be and is translated into the sounds drummers can create on talking drums. Perhaps if you become fluent in Yoruba as well as the playing techniques for this family of drums (there are several, played in ensembles), you'll be able to do what this gentleman did here. As as P.S., there's alwo a talking drum tradition in Senegal. I have a recording where the lead drummer is playing various phrases and proverb - much like Yoruba drummers.

OMG! Him and another guy would be the drummers for an African dance class across the hall from where I was studying another art. We would hear the drums and get locked into the ryhthm. They would do this technic... The best way I can descibe it is, if you had a keyboard - set on arpegio - they would go up the musical scale 'filtering" out then go back down the musical scale "filtering" in. When they did that it would send us into orbit! Truely a master! Much love and RESPECT!

No, from what I've studied about this drum that's not completely true. The people who are charged with playing Lunga are born and raised as lunga players. These people act as the storytellers and genealogists of their clans. The drum is used to imitate speech so from an early age you learn to talk with the drum. While yes some performances go into just playing what you feel, you have to learn to speak with the lunga.
