Quality Percussion from Our Family to Yours
Whether you are new to drumming or have decades of experience, we will help you find your next drum. A drum that fits your hand and body, strengthens your mind and soothes your soul. There is something instinctive about a drum’s beat that cannot be replaced. As it stirs ancient memories, our feet begin to tap, and our bodies begin to sway. Joining with others in a drum circle is a fun, moving, and healing experience.
Drums are an essential part of teaching people about musicality. We work hard to ensure that schools and community groups have the drums and percussion they need to help kids and adults alike get in touch with their rhythm and their community. We are also one of southern Ontario’s largest suppliers of djembe rentals for public and corporate functions to ensure that everyone can participate in the community-building power of drumming.

Sustainably Harvested Wood and Ethical Trade
We know that drumming impacts us on every level of our being. That’s why we’re firm in our commitment that every drum we sell will help the local economies where they originate and respect the Earth with ethical production.
Our djembes are made by expert drum artisans in West Africa. We have invested directly in their operation to ensure that your next djembe is of the highest quality and the wood for each of the musical instruments we sell is legally harvested.
By nurturing personal relationships with our suppliers, and adhering to international conventions on endangered species, we have done everything we can to ensure that our drums are ethically sourced and crafted.
