Djembes
The djembe originated in West Africa, they are now popular all over the world. Djembes are meant to be played with bare hands, different tones are possible by hitting the central areas, giving bass tones, or near the edges producing a defined slap. The shape of the hand and spacing between fingers also has an effect. For an introduction to some playing techniques see the Djembe Videos.

Djembes are tuned with vertical ropes which create tension over the skin. Drumming circles are popular in team building exercises and in education. Our instruments are rugged, sound great and are very reasonably priced. Contact us about discounts on sets of djembes.
