I love the shape of Mali drums best of all.  Guinea drums are beautiful, it's true, but there is something so wonderful and luscious about the big round bowl of a Mali drum.  I especially love to see them naked, without ropes or skins or even rings... just the wooden shell in all it's sculptural, curvy beauty.
There, I said it.  I hope to get some good photos of shells while I am in Mali.  I'll post them here when I get back.
