Premium djembe

The Premium djembe stands out for its exceptional craftsmanship. It is a high-end djembe for the most demanding djembefolas, seeking an instrument of excellence in both looks and sound. It is available in a wide range of hardwoods, kiln-dried for several years to increase the strength of the shell and prevent any deformation when the skin is mounted. Each Premium djembe shell is carefully selected for the appearance of its wood, its shape and its ideally proportioned dimensions. It is then precisely carved, smoothed and carefully assembled with high-quality rope by experienced craftsmen. Thanks to its robustness, it can be fitted with any type of natural djembe skin: goat skin, thin bovine skin (calf, antelope) or thin equine skin (donkey, horse, mule), cervid skin (deer, elk).

The Guinean Premium djembe is a high-end djembe. It owes its excellence to the meticulous finishing work of Guinean carvers and drum builders.

Made in a specialist workshop in Conakry (Guinea), the Guinean Premium djembe is crafted from a wide variety of hardwoods from the forests of the Fouta Djallon, kiln-dried for several years.

The shells are selected according to demanding criteria: shape, near-absence of sapwood and imperfections, overall appearance of the wood…

With its thick heavy or medium-heavy hardwood shell and high-strength halyard rope, the Guinean Premium djembe can take any type of skin: traditional goat skin, bovine skin (calf, cow, antelope) or equine skin (donkey, horse, mule), cervid skin (deer, elk).

A reflection of the professionalism of Guinean craftsmen, the Guinean Premium djembe offers an exceptional level of quality and refinement.
