Drum Set Charm

It is called LaBenie Dangle Music Drum Set Charm Bead. Here are some extremely scant details. It is made of Metal: Alloy, Silver Plated. But there is much, so much more to say, never mind that this drum set is using a form of my name. So, shall we sally forth and talk a bit more about drums? 
In prehistoric times drums were made by stretching animal skins over hollowed-out logs. Which bring us, via an incredible segue, to drums made in Africa. It is from these instruments that was born the spirit of jazz, a music genre that could and would convey sorrow and boredom and freedom and rebellion and more. By the time the 1920’s came around the drum had the ability to convey a voice to the enslaved and displaced as well as connecting isolated communities and providing a language that could even cross continents and unite the separated cultures that were of one mind.
