Gold Coverage: (What’s This?)

Resonant, deep sounds and scorching slaps from these traditional style djembes.

These professional-grade instruments are carved by hand from one solid piece of mahogany. This authentic craftsmanship is needed to get the huge sound--the whole body of the drum resonates as one unit since it is hollowed from one tree. The heads are real goat skin, which is thinner than most heads so you can easily get the popping slap tones and the giant bass tones. The ropes are pre-stretched so once you set the tuning it will hold the tension (not many djembes have this professional detail).

Note that diameters are listed by range due to their hand-carved nature and individual drums vary slightly in their dimensions.

Features

  • Mahogany shell
  • Drum Sizes
  • Extra small: 6-1/4" to 8" diameter x 11-3/4" high

Solid Construction and made from real wood.  The head already tuned and is very responsive to the touch of my hand.  Nice lows, mids and highs can be produced from this instrument.

Great Djembe!!!

| Review By: ToddAllenHooper-jvB5o | 5 months, 2 weeks ago

1 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

I had another djembe made from materials that were designed to resist climate and temp changes, etc. And had a standard tunable head like a  drum from a trap set. But it did not sound good, or natural and there was not much versatility.

 

This djembe is three times the drum that one was, for half the price. I can get lots of different tons out of it, you can push on the head while striking it to change pitch, you can get a great variety of slaps and bass tones, depending on the placement and shape of your hand and can even spin the drum until you find the sweet spot for the particular song/recording you are doing. I have not retuned it, it sounded great out of the box.

 

I do think that tuning one by unweaving and then reweaving the ropes might be crazy hard, but I'll cross that bridge and I can say this is one of the best purchases I've made in a long time.

I love this drum!

| Review By: Nathan Valentin | 5 months, 3 weeks ago

1 people out of 1 found this review helpful

Features:

I like the rope tuning. It gives it an original look and does the job well. Its a little confusing on how to tune it at first but you catch on after a couple times.

Quality:

The quality of this drum is excellent! The skin on the drum sounds great, the ropes are quite durable, and how the drum was made in all is nothing to talk bad about.

Value:

Probably the best drum you can get for the money. I havent tried any of the others so dont quote me on it, but this drum is well worth more then the price you pay for.

Overall:

This drum sounds amazing! I got the Large and was a little dissapointed that it wasnt as big as I thought it would be but it worked out because it works great for the music im playing and who im playing with. I would highly recommend this drum to anybody looking for a Djembe.
