Overview

An authentic ashiko hand drum made for celebrating life's rhythms.

The X8 Drums Ashiko Celebration hand drum lets you tap into West African musical traditions. Hand-carved from sustainably sourced mahogany, this ashiko's shapely form produces a range of tones that sing with rich resonance. Premium goatskin drumheads respond to your every touch, allowing subtlety and nuance. You'll discover a world of sound as you explore the ashiko's versatility.

Hand-Carved Mahogany Shell

The ashiko's solid mahogany shell is meticulously hand-carved and lathe-turned for uniform thickness, then coated in teak oil to highlight the wood's beauty. Mahogany's dense grain gives the drum a warm, projecting voice. Carvings inside the bowl reduce overtones, focusing the tone. No two shells are alike, making each ashiko unique.

Premium Goatskin Drumheads

Premium goatskin drumheads are carefully selected and fitted to the shell. Goatskin produces a wide range of tones from muted to open, with a sensitivity allowing a feather-light touch or vigorous slaps. The drumheads' responsiveness lets your technique shine through. With practice, you'll achieve mastery over the ashiko's broad palette of sounds.

Versatile West African Sound

The ashiko's musical roots in West African religious and social traditions give it a voice both ancient and contemporary. You can recreate intricate polyrhythms or forge your own style. The ashiko blends well with Western genres like jazz, pop and rock. Its cultural significance and musical adaptability have fueled the ashiko's rise in popularity with musicians around the world.
