I have a source of hand carved djembe drums from the Ivory coast of Africa along with
African goatskins for sale. I have been into making drums as a hobby for over
20 years, and I have had several projects that were fun to build but I was never able to
produce the sound that these drums have. If there is anybody interested in owning
one of these quality drums that I have let me know and I can give you further details.
The heart and soul of drumming is in me and I want other people to have these drums
at a reasonable price. All drums and skins are fully guaranteed and back by my word.
thanks

New Drum & Free Carrying Case
Pictured BelowThis drum that you see here is one carved in the Ivory Coast and is in my possession. I have this drum and more like it for immediate sale.I will be selling this one and the others for 250.00 plus shipping. As long as I have these carrying bags when you buy one of these drums you will receive one, a carrying case (50.00 value) absolutely free. These drums will carry the same guarantee as the drums I used to rebuild. This is a new (not so new anymore) venture which I am trying with the carver himself. This venture seems to be working out. I have sold around 200 of these drums. I have ordered more. So far everybody that has bought one is quite pleased. Please let me know if you would like to own one.

How to head a drum
By clicking on the link below you will be taken to my "How to head a djembe letter"
done in pictures. I have had the help of a wonderful person, Susan, who took the time
to take the picturesand using my own letter on "how to letter", she has produced this
extremely helpful guide to heading a djembe. There will be some changes in the near
future, but for now, go have a peek. She is using her drum, though it is not african
all the techniques are the same.
Rehead
I have sold over 350 drums since I started rebuilding drums and selling new
drums. I have also gifted 8 drums to some special people and as donations
UPDATE
This "Hobby" is now a business. I still have low overhead and I will
continue with the best quality and price for a Djembe drum you can find.
I appreciate all the letters and replies I have gotten and feel like I have made
a lot of friends from this page even though I have never met anybody face to face.
Thanks for visiting.
