Yes drums are used to pass message to the poeple till this day in Nigeria 🇳🇬 by the town crier....... you also see it in most Nigerian nollywood movies
We the Yoruba of Nigeria have something called the talking drum I think it would very interesting if you looked into it. The talking drum replicated the tones of the Yoruba language and when it's beat in specific speech patterns the drum literally gives messages in words that can be immediately understood the same way anyone would speak to you, so messages could be passed very easily and it's also used for entertainment to sing praises of individuals. These drums were banned in the Americas and our people had hands cut off as warnings but we still found other ways to hold onto culture by finding other instruments to play.
9:50 Green Skin is animal hide that has only been partially cleaned but not yet tanned; basically untanned leather. It is still what is being mostly used in making different forms and kinds of traditional drum across different African cultures, except that the term "green skin" isn't used by traditional drum makers in their respective African languages since the term originates from the English, as that is what they called untanned animal skin.
It reminds me of this dance in Africa (can't remember which part) where they dance to the drums with a bucket of water on their head without it falling, and how that same exact dance was popular in new Orleans years ago
In Swahili and the drum phenomenon is called “ngoma “literally sounds of ghosts communication…but ngoma in the mordern Swahili is just the drums or music..but in many other bantu languages ngoma also means spirits…sounds of spirits
In Ghana and most African countries the drums were used as a form of communication. So are hand gestures in dancing.
Also during celebrating, harvest seasons and for war crys during praparations of battle.

In my language luganda in uganda ngoma means drum it is used for communication and entertainment purposes.
In South African Nguni languages (isiZulu, isiXhosa, siSwati nesiNdebele) “ngoma” means music. And we call a drum “isigubhu”
Drums have always been a means of communication in African cultures.
