On a slightly different topic, has anyone put together a purely rhythmic

from the ground up to be purely percussive?)
I think that in some rather diverse West African tribes the use of "talking
drums" are used to communicate much like the ol' much clichéd Native
American "smoke signals."
Also my .sig is an example of instructional "language" used to teach tabla
in India...
