South Pacific Beats Quiz

The Patō is a modern version of the lali drum. Rachael Hall is the designer of the Patō. In Rachael's final year at Massey's University, she wanted to create a musical instrument that connected back to her Tongan heritage. 
Rachael made many different versions of the lali and ended up with the Patō.

Rachael used a milling maching and a lathe to create the Patō. Patō means to strike something in Tongan. 

The Patō has many different unique things in the drum like: the pitch adjuster, volume dial and the microphone. 

There is only one version of the Patō drum so Rachael is working on making more Patō on a daily basis.
