From the
TOM TOM website re
the name: Why "TomTom"?
Some experts say that language may have begun with drumming, and simple
drums like the double-headed Native American tom-tom and the talking
drums of Africa, have always been used for signaling, imitating the
pitch patterns of language and transmitting messages over many miles.
Just like us.
