The Atsia Percussion instruments are an incredible collection of cylindrical, double headed drums that can create a wide variety of sounds. They are typically used for foundation rhythms and have up to 4 velocity levels with both open and closed (muted) hits.
What's great about this collection is that it also includes essential African percussion ensembles, such as Atsia Bells, Iron Castenet, Kenken, Toke, and Gankoqui Bells. Gankogui is particularly noteworthy as it's the foundation of the entire ensemble and provides the metronomic background for most Anlo-Ewe music.
The Atsia Floor Drums Hand Hit features popular hand drums like Djembe, Apentema, and three different Kpanlogo drums. There are also strong and weak hand hits, open and muted hits, and open and muted slaps of up to four velocities. Similarly, the Atsia Floor Drums Hand & Stick Hit includes Atsimevu, Boba, and Sogo that can be played with both hands and sticks.
The Atsia Frame Drums also stand out as a unique feature in this collection. The Gome and Tamalin are two unique frame drums from the Ashanti and Ga peoples of Ghana, producing a high steady tone. These drums offer up to 4 velocities of center and edge hits, mutes, and slaps.
Lastly, the collection features Atsia Shakers and Snaps. These shakers add color and texture to a percussion ensemble and are from Ghana and Brazil, including Afoxe, Axatse, Caxixi, Frogs Eggs, Ganza, Maracas, and Shekere. Finger Snaps are also included.
Overall, the Atsia Percussion instrument collection is truly comprehensive, offering a wide-ranging vocabulary of percussive sounds that are bound to inspire and delight any software user.
