The African drum, called Djembe is one of Africa's traditional
craftmanship. This drum has been used during celebrations such as weddings,
births or during special days of high significanse in the African culture.
The Djembe is made out of wood, goat skin, metal rings and very strong
tension cord. The body of the drum is made out of one piece of wood, hand carved to
form its shape. The type of wood used is usually Mahagony or Jungraide
African wood. The Djembe is usually sized by measuring the diameter of its
top part that is covered with the goat skin, such as 6", 8", 10" and all the
way up to 20". Larger Djembes produce a variety of low and high tones than
smaller ones. But not to forget large Djembes weigh a lot more than smaller
ones. A 14" Djembe can weigh up the 25lb.
Notice: Because the Djembe is totally made by hand and only primitive hand
tools are used, not one drum is alike the other. Due to that reason, please
realize that measurments, carvings, designs, finish, paint and sound are not
always accurate.
