African drums in West and Central Africa. The drums are the instruments of almost all ethnic groups in Central Africa and West. Its importance is reflected not only in sophisticated styles in which they are used, but also externally through diverse forms of its corpus, various skin sometimes complex mounting techniques, and in some cultures, subtle craft decoration of the body resonance. This catalog would be the basis of the stock of the Ethnological Museum in Berlin and present a comprehensive overview of the existence of membranophones in Central Africa and West. This stock is considered to this day as one of the most important collections.
