The word yiri means 'wood' - all the instruments used in this peace (apart from the bell) are made of wood.
Two balafons are used. These are similar to a xylophone, the balafon is made up of wooden bars which are tuned to different pitches.
The djembe is a drum shaped like a goblet, played with the hands. Dundun and Donno are also drums used.
The talking drum is a drum played with a hooked stick and can be used to imitate speech by creating different pitches and slides.
The members of koko also sing (they're split into soloist and chorus).
3 different ways to play the drum: Slap (hand strikes edge with fingers spread), Tone (hand slaps edge with fingers together) and Bass (head of drum hit flat).
