About Djembes & African Drums

Djembes & African drums have been enjoyed by music lovers for centuries. These beautiful instruments - tuned with ropes - are played with the bare hands, producing a rich and resonant sound that has captivated audiences worldwide.

The djembe originated in West Africa - specifically in Mali and Guinea - where it was traditionally used in ceremonies, celebrations, and other cultural events. It was often played alongside other percussion instruments - such as bells and shakers - to create complex rhythmic patterns that reflected the rich cultural heritage of the region.

Playing the djembe requires a combination of speed, strength, and dexterity, which can improve coordination and fitness levels. Djembe players also experience a sense of community, as the drum is often played in groups, fostering collaboration and communication among the players.

Djembes are made from a variety of materials, including wood, animal skins, and metal. Some djembes feature intricate carvings and colourful designs, enhancing their visual appeal. The rope-style tuning is known for its durability and reliability, keeping the skin in perfect tuning for extended periods without adjustment.

In addition to the traditional rope tuning design, modern variations of djembes are available to accommodate beginners and touring performers. These include djembes with a "pop off" head, mechanically tuned djembes, and pre-tuned options.

Overall, djembes & African drums offer a unique musical experience that is both physically and emotionally rewarding. They provide a deep connection to African culture and history while offering a fun and dynamic way to connect with others through music.

FAQs

How much does a good djembe cost?

The price for a good djembe ranges from around 92 to 346. Different materials and designs reflect the cost. It's important to choose a djembe that fits your skill level and budget while providing the desired sound quality and playability.

Is a Djembe an African drum?

A djembe is an African drum that originated in West Africa, specifically in Mali and Guinea. The word "djembé" comes from the Bambara language, meaning "together in peace". Djembes were traditionally used for various cultural events, including weddings, funerals, and other occasions.

How do you play an African djembe drum?

Here are the steps to play an African djembe drum:

  1. Sit on a chair or on the floor with the drum between your knees. Keep your back straight.
  2. Hold your hands in a cup shape, with your fingers and palms slightly curved.
  3. Place your dominant hand on the drum's skin, near the edge.
  4. Strike the drum's skin with your hand, using your wrist to create a snapping motion.
  5. After striking the drum, let your hand rebound off the skin.
  6. Use your non-dominant hand to strike the drum in the same way, alternating hands to create a rhythm.
  7. Experiment with different hand positions and techniques to create different sounds and rhythms.
  8. Listen to other drummers and learn from them. Practice regularly to improve your skills.
  9. When playing with others, listen and stay in sync with the group, adjusting your rhythm and volume as needed.

By following these steps and practicing regularly, you can develop the skills and techniques needed to play an African djembe drum effectively and enjoyably.
