The gasan string drum was a musical instrument commonly used in jizz. Notable string drum players include Figrin D'an, leader of the Modal Nodes.
Behind the Scenes
Based on its sound, the gasan string drum was likely recorded as a steelpan, a melodic percussion instrument originating from Trinidad and Tobago. All of the instruments played by the Modal Nodes have real life counterparts made easily identifiable through their sound.
