The ATSIMEVU is a popularly known as the grandfather
of all the ewe musical instruments and the tallest of all. It has a carved body
of about 4 ½ feet tall and has a drum head of about 9 inches
in diameter which is mostly made from animal skin. In order to play the
atsimevu, the drummer should stand parallel to the drum which is tilted against
a stand known as vudetsi, bringing the height of the drum head below the chest
for a good leverage and aiming position. It is played with two sticks or stick
and hand.
