Music is an integral part of everyone’s world. Finding your own special way of expression is something that takes many people a long time to discover. As an adult, you may wonder how to play an instrument without having to spend years of training and practicing to get results. Life is too short to let a lot of time go by without getting the satisfaction of making music. Not surprisingly, learning to create rhythms with a percussion instrument like a drum is an easy and satisfying way to begin to find your own sound. The African djembe hand drum is one of the most popular hand drums in the world today. Originally from West Africa, and used for ceremonial dances and communication, the djembe’s ease of playing and transporting has made it the perfect percussion instrument for drumming alone or with others. Drum circles are becoming more and more popular, as the world discovers this exciting and energizing pastime. Drumming provides an opportunity to participate in sacred as well as secular music and rhythms, and djembes are the perfect hand drum for these occasions. African djembes are light enough to carry with you almost everywhere, and easy enough to play in most group situations. Most djembes are made from a single piece of hardwood, hollowed out into a goblet shaped drum, anywhere from 8-26” tall. The head of the drum can be as small as 4” and as large as 16” across. Usually the djembe’s drumhead is made of goatskin and is tuned by tightening the ropes that hold it in place. There are some djembes nowadays that are made of synthetic materials or resins, have mylar drumheads, and can be tuned with a key. Often djembe drums are played while standing, held with a strap that fits around the shoulders. Usually, however, djembes are small enough to comfortably hold between the knees while sitting down. Drummers of every age and ability can enjoy African djembes. Here at our online drum shop, we offer a variety of beautifully hand crafted African djembes that are of the highest quality, reflecting our commitment to excellence in the field of authentic hand percussion instruments. Our wooden djembe drums are made from sustainably harvested mahogany, grown on African plantations that are certified as conforming to the local environmental laws. They are carved from a single piece of wood, and then stained or painted by other artists to become an authentic, unique and beautiful instrument. They have animal skin heads and are rope-tuned, giving you the ability to adjust the tones as needed. Each djembe drum is unique, and the many varieties offer you a choice in finding that perfect hand drum to reflect who you are as an amateur or pro drummer. Djembes are fun for everyone!
