From Wikipedia
Kpanlogo, traditionally named Tswreshi or Treshi is a type of barrel drum that is associated with Kpanlogo music, and is usually played with two hands. The drum originates from the Ga people of the Greater Accra Region in Ghana, West Africa.
Kpanlogo is the name of a rhythm played on the tswreshi. The rhythm was composed around the 1950s in the wake of Ghana’s independence, and became popular. It is known as Ghana’s signature rhythm. Because of the popularity of the rhythm, the tswreshi became widely known as the kpanlogo drum.
