Wood kpanlogo drum, 'Asafo'

Handsomely carved with textured rings, masks and Ashanti symbols of royalty, this splendid kpanlogo drum by Samuel Coleman is a regal addition to the serious collection. Hewn from a solid block of richly-veined tweneboa wood, the motifs are carved by hand and permitted to dry naturally, before the drum is finished and protected with brown mansion polish. Its taut calfskin drum head is affixed to wooden pegs with stout ropes. The kpanlogo drum is a revered element in the music and culture of the Ga tribe in Ghana's Greater Accra region, marking the rhythm for the traditional kpanlogo dance. However, its characteristic deep, loud sound makes it a popular instrument throughout West Africa. Asafo is the name given to a royal group that takes care of traditional cultural activities.

Samuel Coleman

"I was born on November 24, 1974. I stayed with my mother and started schooling at the Methodist primary school in town. I then moved to where my father stays, to be with him and to continue my education. I therefore studied at the Swedru School of Business where I took General Arts as a subject. While I was there, I was very much involved in the school's cultural troupe and performed with them. Upon completion of the Swedru School, I was a bit stranded with no money to further my education at the university level. Due to my interest in all things cultural things, I then decided to get involved in artworks, especially carving - drums to be specific. I moved back with my mother and then went under a three year training period, and now I am a master training three boys in the art of drum-making."

Customer Reviews of Samuel Coleman

I purchased a djembe ""Adowa"" as a birthday present to myself. I was hesitant to purchase a drum online without actually handling it and playing it. It arrived on time and is a beautiful piece of work....
