The titles of the items are: 1. Ibyiivuko (cries). 2. Umusuko. 3. Akakira. 4. Zidjezikarabwe. 5. Urubunda. 6. Uruhamiriza. 7. Uruchantege. 8. Uwabjgega. 9. Umuganura. 10. Urugamgazi. 11. Unubambura. 12. Agasiga. 13. Tubaru shumwami. 14. Ururuna. 15. Urukina. The whole set of drums should have been conical laced drums of the same shape but varying in pitch. At this mine a number of them had been improvised from oil drums, 44 gallon and 8 gallon metal containers. The chief drummer is called - Umwiiro maukuru. The second drummer is called - Uwaura. The timekeeper drummer is called - Ishakwe. The beaters or drumsticks are called - Murisho (s.) Imirisho (pl.). The names of the drums are from treble to bass. Lead drum -- (in this case a small bucket drum) -- Ishako. First drum - Nyahura. Second drum - Nterero. Third drum - Irubi. Fourth drum - Luvugamahame. Fifth drum - Chihumurizo. The leader plays his own drum and sometimes the three also on either side of him (4 all told) when setting a rhythm. His second-in-command also plays his own drum and sometimes one on either side (3 in all). The time setter stands out in front of the line and keeps the time going. This recording was made near a plantation of tall eucalyptus (blue gum) trees and the diffuse echo from the boughs and leaves overhead can be clearly heard throughout.

Away from the Congo river itself it appears that the art of sending drum messages deteriorates into the sending of signals only, the former being based upon the tonality of the individual words comprising the sentences transmitted, the latter comprising pre-set phrases and rhythms to which certain significance is attached. The signals may have arisen from messages in the past but the skill of 'talking' on the drums has almost if not entirely vanished among the Mangbele. The significance of the 'Tamatsaro' signal was not explained.
