Supplied by Kambala from the Ivory Coast and Bucara, a fair-trade partnership in Ghana. We can supply individual drums, and have a range of African kits that are ideally suited for drumming groups and schools. We also create bespoke drumming packs for individual customers. Traditional Djembes High-quality handmade drums from Ghana, made in conjunction with a Fair Trade organisation. Traditionally carved from the Tweeneboa tree (African Cedar), and skinned with goat. The djembe is the drum which best exemplifies the sound of West African drumming music & the drum most enthusiasts buy. It encompasses a wide tonal range from very deep bass to cracking high notes. Single Weave Djembes The standard Djembe used all over Western Africa. Well-made with a big bass and sharp slap. Double Weave professional Djembes: Top of the range drums. Twice as much rope is used which means the drums hold their tuning really well, as well as having a great dynamic and tonal range. The weave around the top of the drum acts as a comfort curve. The relief carving is beautiful and unique to each drum.
