Advanced knowledge has been used to optimize the African drums.
Interested by music, I have tried to understand how the Africans with their simple tools in the antiquity have built the complicated and beautiful sculpted Drums.
The Drum is an ethnic and musical identity card. His reading, his decoding can teach us, more about the different migrations of the populations in the antiquity. Drums are technically, significant documents coming from the deep history of humanity. About the drums, during the African antiquity, knowledge and symbolism of form was melted together in a harmonic symbiosis, design and function were not considered by the manufacturers as separate realities but as the two faces of a complete transmission of Music.
Anomalies
When a fact is not in accordance with the predominant theory, this fact is simply rejected. Some people don’t want to report it, to talk about it, even when this fact is able to change the history of this predominant theory. Such silences within the scientific community are not exceptional, and that means that science fails to progress. Some remarks about the mechanical and acoustical operation of the drums, the dispersion of the drums inside and outside the African continent...
Please note that, the African continent is the place where you can meet the greatest diversity of old musical instruments per square mile. The acoustical knowledge (could we call them acousticians?) of the manufacturers in the antiquity, lays at the basis of the quality, number and diversity of the musical instruments (drums) in Africa. I do not think that the technical quality of the drums is the result of an empirical or accidental or hazardous process. Pay attention to the drum's design. The original manufacturers and sculptors (the firsts) would not have given this time and energy for a drum of 3 or 5 meters, without a good reason (knowledge's) for such musical instrument. The Egyptian: Remetou ( 1200 before the present time)The astronomiThe Nubian: Nehesiou (1200 before the present time)cal knowledge of the Dogon (Mali, West Africa) for example, allows me, to state that: The manufacturers of these musical instruments have lived in an environment where other technical knowledge's was used. Without other know how's, it's quite impossible to have these qualities of drums. There was in Africa, a Lady, a Queen and last but not least, the Goddess of Music named TY (1400 before the present time) I think those Africans have developed the drums, not in 1200 before the present time, but before this date........
