Would this count?

Drums enough?

"Native" enough?

That one fits here and in the comic book covers thread.

I absolutely love this album, but this is a modern style conga drum with metal tuning lugs, not what I had in mind - I think of low technology drums, from any continent.

Low tech can be deceptive... for example, many W. African drums now use high-quality, non-stretch marine and/or rappelling [sp?] line for lacing and tuning. A lot of Africans have adopted this tech.

I know - a German fellow drummer wrote his doctoral thesis in ethnomusicology on Jenbe drumming in Bamako and how the technological changes effected the playing situations etc.:
