The picture below shows an African Talking Drum.
According to Happeh Theory, the inspiration for the creation of the talking drum was homosexual men. According to Happeh Theory, the bodies of homosexual men change so they behave as if they have one long arm and one short arm instead of two equal length arms. Because their arm lengths are mismatched, it is difficult and uncomfortable for the homosexual to play the Djembe drum,
which was designed for human beings with more equal length arms.
The next picture shows a man playing the talking drum.
His left arm looks extremely short as it holds the drum under his armpit.
The left arm can be visualized as only being as long as the armpit, because the armpit is holding the drum.
The right hand looks much longer because it has to reach across the body to get to the drum.
The next picture shows a man holding the talking drum down at his side. That position also makes the player of the talking drum look like they have a long and short arm.
With the drum hanging down, it is the left arm that looks long,
and the right arm that looks short.
Homosexuality and other phenomenon do not actually shrink the length of one arm. The shortness is a both a visual illusion and a description of how one of the arms behaves. One of the arms will behave as if it is shorter, which creates the illusion the arm really is shorter.
Although the talking drum was invented for homosexuals or other people with similar body changes, it can be played by anyone.You can see in this photo that the talking drum can be held in a different way by a person with more normal length arms.
