The 11" djembe is ideal for adults with smaller hands or secondary school students. It can also be a fantastic starter drum.
This beautifully crafted Ghanaian djembe is tuned to a precise pitch, with high-quality rope ensuring it holds its tuning for a long time. The result is a deep bass and a sharp, crisp edge slap.
Made from Tweneboa, a sustainable West African Cedar of a very best quality, the drum is carved with meaningful Adinkra symbols. Each drum is uniquely carved with its own symbols, giving it a personal touch. You can explore the meanings behind Adinkra symbols here. Tweneboa is also a lightweight wood compared to hardwood alternatives, making the djembe easier to carry.
Unlike factory-made versions, these genuine fair-trade drums are handmade in Ghana by professional musicians, designed to be played and loved.
Every drum is handcrafted by skilled musicians we've partnered with for over 20 years, supporting and preserving ancient Ghanaian musical traditions.
The instruments are all individually handmade, rather than mass-produced in factories.
The body is made from sustainably sourced Tweneboa, a fast-growing wood, obtained under licence from the Ghana Forestry Commission.
The durable goat skins are unbleached, providing superior sound quality.
Every drum is polished with sesame oil and carefully tuned before being sent to you.
If you're looking for a genuine djembe with heart, heritage, and a beautiful sound, this is it.

Great sounding drum, perfect size for a beginner drum AND I’m in love with the percussion instruments that came with it! Prompt delivery too! Just FYI, I’m 5”6 and can’t sit in a normal chair with the drum but I can sit comfortably on a footstool or a lower sofa with the drum. It’s also really easy to carry round as it’s light and not too big - would really recommend this size!
The drum was delivered before the estimated delivery date, it has a great sound and has provided a lot of pleasure for us as complete novices. Even after just a little practise it is possible to play some basic beats, very pleased with our purchase and would recommend it to anyone thinking of buying one, it is great fun and can be played straight out of the box.
This drum is very beautifully made and the sound is excellent. It was carefully packaged and arrived in great condition and also a lot quicker than previously advised. Really appreciated the free small instruments in a lovely bag included with my drum. A lovely touch. Very impressive
I am about to start a drumming and Nasheed course and I was looking for a Djembe drum. Delighted with the drum that I purchased, it is beautifully crafted. Excellent service and I also appreciate the two additional instruments I received for free. Happy to have discovered your business and will use again in future and also share with family and friends. Thank you
It's hard to know what you're going to get when you buy drums online but these ones are absolutely TOP QUALITY. Beautifully finished and tuned up for a resonant bass and a sharp top note. I'll be using them with my "Drumming for Wellbeing" group, but honestly I'm tempted to take one as my personal instrument! I'll definitely be buying more in the future.
