Hand percussion is by far my favourite of all percussive styles, not least for its immensely expressive nature and all round versatility.
Ever since my first pair of Bongos I have been researching endless kinds of hand percussion.
Yet in truth, I have been searching this past decade for one particular kind of drum that would provide every characteristic I desired.
I was looking for a wooden box, yet also an Udu jug… I was looking for a snare yet also a thumping bass… I was looking for portability yet also presence… basically I was looking for the Ktak.
