Olivia describes the Ashiko Drum

The Akisho is a medium sized drum and it looks like a chair. It is very old and is wooden like a tree. It is hard like a table and medium sized as a chair. It smells like animal skin and wood. It also smells like trees that have been cut down. It sounds musical, noisy and loud. The top part of the drum feels smooth and the bottom part feels hard like wood. People use the Ashiko for African celebrations and parades.
