    Slit drums are used in ritual and religious music, as a rhythm-setting percussion instrument in ensembles, as a signaling instrument and in Central African cultures with tonal languages to transmit messages.

    Under favorable conditions, the sound can be heard over a distance of 8 km. Important messages were usually repeated from village to village.
