The Dragon Drum is based on the ancient Chinese percussion instrument
called the 'Fou' drum, consisting of a bronzeware pot, jar, or square
vessel, which was struck with a stick. (A similar drum was featured
during the 2008 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony in Beijing.)
Its origin dates as far back as the Xia or Shang dynasties, where
once it was used in ritual music. The fou as an instrument was not
confirmed until a discovery of nearly 500 musical instruments in the
Tombs for Nobles of the Yue State, Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province.
The Dragon Drum is more than just a 'Fou' drum, it is a collection of
meditative and ritualist instruments to feed your musical desires. The
collection includes Dragon Drum, Tingshas, Bells, Bamboo block,
Rag-Dung horn, Chants and EleMental secrets.
