Djembes

About

The djembe is a rope-tuned, goblet-shaped drum originating from West Africa, played with the bare hands to produce a wide range of bass, tone, and slap sounds. One of the most expressive and widely played hand percussion instruments in the world, the djembe is central to West African music traditions and is popular worldwide in community drumming, world music, and percussion education. We stock djembes from Meinl and Remo across a wide range of sizes, finishes, and price points — from the affordable Meinl JR. Djembe for younger players and beginners, through the Meinl Jumbo and Travel Series for intermediate players, to the professional Remo Key-Tuned Professional range in 12", 14", and 16" sizes. We also stock a Meinl djembe stand and Stagg djembe bag for transport and performance. Browse our full hand percussion range for cajons, congas, darbukas, and more.
