Description: | The drummer rotates the drum stick in a style known as uruttu, when it is held in the right hand.
Drumstick, centa kol for a centa (cenda or chenda) cylindrical drum. It is made from wood and tapers from the base to a narrow, angled end. The stick is put into boiling water and then placed in a form to bend it to an angle.
The drumsticks are carved by the musician: the slight bend of the playing side is acheived by boiling the wood in hot water and then the stick is formed by putting it in a form. (Killius, Rolf: 2001-04-24)
