The 13" djembe is our best seller because it is a fantastic full-size drum, the size being a classic-size adult djembe.
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.

A great addition to our workshop collection. Lightweight, but with a big sound, nicely tuned, with well-resolved tone and a huge bass sound. Looks great, too!
Such a beautiful drum. It sounds fantastic and so well made. What a pleasure it is to know that this drum is made in Ghana Africa by local people that are experts in making Djambe drums. Also knowing that they are made using Fairtrade principles and the profits go back to help their community become better. Just wonderful all-round. And I love the free hand instruments too. Wonderful.
Excellent service, promptly dispatched. The Djembe itself has a beautiful tone and is a testament to the crafts person who made it. Lovely carving too. The small percussion instruments are equally attractive. If you need an Djembe then do not hesitate to use this company. 5 stars all round.
I was looking for a Djembe Drum for a while as I have joined an online drumming group which uses them alot.
I was pleased to find your drums via Amazon UK and chose to order because the instruments are made in Africa.
My drum was delivered very quickly and I am really happy with it. It us just what I wanted size wise and it has a very good sound range. It is also attractively and strongly made. It was carefully wrapped and arrived in excellent condition. Thank you.
