Hey Yan,

I just got done watching all 4 parts of your atabaque documentary, and was wondering if you've posted instructions somewhere online? I'd love to make one similar to yours and having the instructions typed up would be awesome. Or if there's other instructions online? Thanks in advance for your response!

cool video, if you want to be sure it wont crack you should try to steem it, of course its a bit more work but you wont need the irons around anymore. and dont forget to share love around.

hola,kedo lindo el atabake,pero el cuero que usaste no sirve para percusion,tiene que cuero de potro o algo por el estilo,como el que se usa para congas,el sonido va a ser diferente y mas potente x asi decirlo y deberias usar doble aro para la tension,asi no se lastima el cuero y dura mas,un sistema semejante al que se usa en los djembe,good lock,friend!!

Fantastic! are you plans available anywhere - do you have a website or blog or anything - a scan of those dimensions sure would be useful!

Great work!

You've obviously never had one made by Mestre Peixinho then. You probably will get a lot of stick for saying this but I can see what you're saying... However, when you get a well made Atabaque and a traditional African made Djembe in a room I'll always go for the Atabaque nowadays. You have to know how to play them well to understand their uniqeness. They're completely different instruments. Just Youtube "Atabaque" and see for yourself (first result).

Take't easy

Congrats man, i'm from brazil and starting classes of african drums. I would like to know the name of that udu/ibo drum music that you play in video 2/4. Thanks a lot. I'm vary happy to see afro/brazilian culture around the world.

i know i'm gonna get a lot of shit for saying this, but i honestly don't think it's worth the labor. atabaques are so primitive. i've never heard one that sounds as good as an easy to come by budget price conga drum with actual lugs, a rim and professionally made skin.

This is by far the most useful documentary on drum making I have seen in a long time.

Thanks a lot. Hopefully other capoeiristas will pick it up.

Axe!
