Each 10 inch djembe drum wide top is turned from a single piece of mahogany and has professional quality, pre-stretched stringing and a thick, natural goatskin head for a long life and a mellow tone.

Other features which keep our djembes ahead of the competition are the rubber base that protects both the drum and the floor and the extra smooth finishing inside and out (no splinters or rough edges).

This top quality Djembe is specially designed for serious, long term use in Primary and Secondary school settings and incorporates all the design features that have made our bigger drums the standard for quality in schools around the world. It also makes a great travel djembe for serious players who aren't able to take their full-sized drum them.

Eco-note: The wood for the drums is certified plantation-grown mahogany and wood products  like these are a great way to store carbon, providing they’re kept for a long time and not thrown away.

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

Guarantee: The wooden drum shell is guaranteed for 5 years and the drum skin is guaranteed for 2 years, but please follow the “taking care” instructions above.
