This premium professional djembe stands out with its durable cowhide drumhead, built to withstand intense use and provide reliable longevity—perfect for professional drummers and workshop leaders. Designed as our top-tier drum, it offers a powerful, versatile sound with an impressive range, from crisp, sharp slaps to deep, resonant bass.
 
Crafted with twice as much high-quality rope, the professional drum maintains stable tuning over time. The body, made from the heartwood of the tweneboa tree, offers enhanced durability and has much deeper intricate hand-carvings. The upper half of the drum is decorated with vibrant, patterned string, adding a distinctive touch of colour and uniqueness to your instrument. Like the 13" standard djembe, this 13” professional cow skin djembe is the perfect size for adults and crafted for authentic sound and enduring performance.
 
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 through various blogs like this. 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 cow skins are unbleached, providing superior sound quality.
Every drum is polished with sesame oil and carefully tuned before being sent to you.
