Sogo is the largest of the supporting
drums used to play Atsiã. In some other pieces it is used
as a lead drum. It is about two and a half feet tall, its head
is about ten inches in diameter and it is closed at the bottom.
Like kidi and kaganu, sogo plays its own rhythm during the basic
pattern. Sogo is also free to play some variations and improvisations
during the basic pattern. Sogo responds to the lead drummer's
calls in unison with kidi. The basic rhythm for Sogo is demonstrated
above.
