Medium African Djembe – Decorative
This medium African djembe features a decorative geometric carving. Our djembes are hand-carved for us in Ghana, West Africa. These drum builders are fairly paid and are proud to share their craft and culture with others. In addition to being well-crafted musical instruments, these djembes are attractive art pieces. Each drum is unique, featuring carvings of African scenes or Adinkra symbols.
Our djembes provide plenty of volume with a wide tonal range encompassing all the deep clear bass and crisp high “slaps” of the classic djembe sound.
All our djembes are tuned and played before leaving our shop in Georgina, Ontario, Canada, to ensure quality and, admittedly, because we can’t resist playing them!
**Note: The wood used in Ghana for drums is
legally obtained and not endangered.
