Krin (Slit Drum/Log Drum)

The Drummer's Toystore, serving the needs of all drummers since 1992!

Originating from W. Africa, the krin is a hollowed-out log featuring tuned slits that produce distinct high-pitched tones when played with sticks. Traditionally used for communication as well as rhythmic and melodic accompaniment in ensembles, the krin remains an important instrument in West African percussion traditions.

Great for percussionists, studios, educators, collectors, drum circles, and anyone looking to add authentic world percussion sounds to their setup.
