In tribal societies, the drum has been widely used as a method of communication. The sound made by tapping on the tight skin stretched across the hollow instrument can be heard for some distance or the messenger beats a wooden club across a hollowed log to send their message.
Kundu drums are a native drum of many of the tribal groups of Papua New Guinea – from the Sepik of the northern coast to the highlands which run along the spine of the nation. Hand held, they are used in a wide range of ceremonies both formal and informal.
It is fitting that this Rotary year, the monthly District Governor‘s Newsletter should have as its masthead The District Drum as it is one of our primary methods of communication to all Rotarians in District 9790 and their families. Another form of communication to members is through the District website and members are encouraged to check it on a regular basis. The new social media is now an integral part of keeping in touch with each other: Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, You Tube and others are all widely used to keep Rotarians in touch and in promoting and publicising Rotary‘s achievements to the wider community.
