Delivery: Before shipping the drum is inspected and hand tuned (if needed); plus, the shell is given a final treatment to provide even more protection and beauty. These activities increase the shipping time and the drum typically ships from the distributor in 3 - 5 days, so the total delivery time is 6 - 10 days in the continental U.S. - the drum ships from Colorado and is shipped by FedEx or UPS.

Each djembe is meticulously hand-carved to perfect proportions by master djembe makers:

The bearing edges are rounded, perfectly balanced and smooth

Wood beautifully sanded and finished inside and out with liquid shea butter

The rope is premium grade - European 2-part polyester cord is used for the rope

The metal rings [for the tuning system] are custom welded to fit each drum perfectly!

The grain and color of the wood are beautiful - some of our customers even use it as sculpture in their house! And yet the sound is even better!
