I am an avid percussionist and found out that I am indeed better at using my hands than using sticks to play out beats, so my instructor has advised me to take up hand percussion. He is on vacation as of now, and he wants me to find a couple instruments to find interest in and start practicing. I bought a cajon and absolutely love it, but there is a certain instrument that caught my attention while listening to some songs but cannot quite place what the name for the drum is. It sounds like a bongo/djembe/conga (I do not know which) and is played in the background of songs either slowly or very quickly. Songs which play this drum: Upside Down - Jack Johnson Young Folks - Peter Bjorn and John Send Me On The Way - The Rusted Root I believe the drum played in each song is the same drum, and I really would like to identify it for future purposes. Thanks, and God bless.
