Tumba (drum)

Tumba (drum)

The tumba is a kind of long, thin drum, whose pitch depends on the part of the head being hit. Tumbas appear in Leroy Anderson's "Jazz Pizzicato" (1949) and "Fiddle-Faddle" (1952), as well as the music of various Latin American dance bands and in Hans Werner Henze's opera "The English Cat".
