Djembe Drum 9.5" diameter, 50cm high, Educator Star, wood

Please Note: This djembe has a 8” playing head diameter (=/- 0.5”). The overall diameter of the djembe is approx 9”. Most other suppliers only quote the overall diameter, and so what they describe as '8” djembes' have 7” playing heads.

Our low cost djembes are classic instruments, made using traditional materials and techniques, providing an authentic African Drumming sound and playing experience.

The shell is turned from single piece of mahogany, the skin is goatskin and the stringing is soft but super strong nylon. We use three welded steel rings so that the tuning is stable and we finish the Djembes carefully inside and out so that there are no splinters.

The  'Djembe Drum 9.5 inch - Budget - Painted' has a 8 inch playing diameter, 50cm high and is big enough for children to play two-handed. Great for getting started, great to look at and light enough to be easily carried around.

The decorative painting, inspired by Australian aboriginal art, is all done by hand so every drum is different.

Taking care: the drums are very tough and will last for a very long time if treated with care. When not in use keep them  in a dry place away from direct sunlight or other heat sources. If they should get wet, let them dry slowly. Above all keep sharp points away from the drum skins, as this is the most fragile part.
