There are people who harvest phone numbers on Craigslist in order to spam call. Therefore, I don't give out my phone number. But I'm happy to answer any questions via email.
As you can see from the map, I live next to Wheaton H.S., and 1/2 mile from Glenmont Metro Station.
Consists of two parts:the high sounds are produced by the right one, low sounds are produced by the left one.
Wood for these drums comes from KOHOMBA, EHELA and JAK trees.
The drum is played with two sticks with circular ends and they are made of KADURU. THAMMATTAMA is generally not played with equal pressure. There are special rhythms played on this drum. e.g. to invite people into the temple, invite Buddhist priests for Pirith ceremonies or Alms giving.
