Reading | South Pacific Beats

A lali is a type of traditional pacific islander drum. It is played during births and deaths and must be struck with a stick to make the traditional music.

Rachael Hall wanted to combine the digital age and traditional drumming music. She made models of a new type of drum based off the lali. She also included technology that could adjust the pitch.

Rachael finally made the drum and called it Patō. The Patō is a drum combined with modern technology such as an omnidirectional microphone, volume dial and a pitch adjuster.

The task was to read an article on the Patō and Rachael Hall and then take a quiz about the content. The total score was given afterwards.
