Exclusive to Afrobeat – Customise your very own African Djembe Drum Online!
Our Guinea Elite Djembes have been specially selected as our high end soloist djembe. Made from premium heartwood Lenke timber from Guinea (also known as the spirit wood of West Africa), these djembe shells are considered to bestow some of the best sound qualities including great projection, noticeable depth of sound, crisp slaps, and warm tones. Time and attention has been taken to craft more comfortable playing edges, and add practical extras like non-slip rubber bases, and woven handle to attach playing strap.
