Tassa drums are found amongst Indo-Caribbean people. The word "tassa" comes from the Persian "tash" and Hindi "tasha", which both mean kettle drum. The drum is an Indo-caribbean version of Indian and Persian precursors. The tassa is beatifully made by tightly covering a clay shell with goat skin. Early tassa were covered in monkey skin as well. When ready to play the goat skin is heated by aid of a fire to tighten the head making the pitch higher. This process is called "standing it up". When you stand one up, the pitch can stay high for 20-30 minutes. Now tassa drums are even made by cutting an empty propane gas tank in half and attaching a thick plastic skin to the top of it with nuts and bolts, welding it shut. Nowadays similar sounds can be achieved without heating up the tassa drums anymore. When played in a tassa group, one tassa is the "cutter" and the other is the "fulley" or "fuller", as their role is to make the rhythm or "taal" sound more full. The fulley plays a steady rhythm while the cutter plays the more intricate rhythms and improvises. A large bass drum, called a baydum, usually made from a mango tree trunk, is also played filling in a deep sound and in addition there is someone with jhanj or jhaal (brass cymbals) playing in the group also. Tassa drumming can usually be found at a various Indo-Cultural events such as Hosay, Hindu weddings, or even parties and certain clubs.
