A djembe is a good starting point if you want to play bass notes and bright accents with your hands. A darbuka suits players drawn to quick finger patterns. A frame drum is another option if you prefer to hold the instrument in one hand while playing with the other.
Compare small and large djembes, other African drums and accessories such as tuning rope and drumhead protectors.
Explore goblet drums such as the darbuka and doumbek, frame drums such as the daf, doira, bendir and riq, and the Persian tombak.
The collection spans mahogany, tweneboa and lenké djembes, tunable shamanic drums and melodic handpans.
Finished shamanic drums and shakers sit alongside beaters, bags and backpacks. Frames and hides are used to build or repair a drum.
Check the playing surface, the weight and how you will hold the drum. If you plan to take it to workshops, check the size of the drum against the bag’s internal dimensions.
