The third player, the one who played the deepest noted drum would also hit the edge of his drum, whose membrane measured 32" across. The drummers said that there were two kinds of rhythm or styles of playing these large drums. The one called Lugaya was for welcoming important guests and the other Igubule was for honouring the chief. The overall sizes of these drums were:- 1. 32" diam. membrane, 4' 1" tall. 2. 22 1/2" diam. membrane, 3' 7" tall. 3. 17 3/4" diam. membrane, 2' 11" tall.
