DJEMBE (L.J. Percussion)
$ 400.00 - $ 600.00
 

The Djembe drum is a native drum from West Africa.  For this I import raw drum shells from West Africa and hand finish them in my shop.  The shells are exotic native woods.  I then install a goatskin head on the drum with a three ring system.  The extra ring lends strength, and also makes it possible to let the hair show on the outside of the drum along with a decorative top ring and the ropework.  The drums are then strung in the traditional fashion using a strong non-stretch rope such as accessory, or rock climbing cord.

DJEMBE  (Imported)  AFRICAN
 ($250.00 - $350.00)

These drums are imported directly from Ghana, Senegal, and Guinea.

The drums from Ghana are made from a very light weight wood called Banti and are easy to carry.

The Senegalese drums are made from a much heavier wood.  The Senegalese drums have carved bases with various captions and inlays of bone or Cowry shells.  They are very attractive.

The drums from Guinea are also nicely carved. Most of these drums have
standard two ring systems and all have goat skin heads.

Sizes and designs vary with each shipment, so call for the latest info.
