Djembe skin - Semi-thick goat skin for djembe drum
Goat skins
With high quality membranes, these goat skins collected in the slaughterhouses of Mali are recommended for reskinning a djembe or a drum head. We check all skins systematically before shipping them: any skins with major defects (scars, holes, warts) will be put aside. The thicker the skin is, the less it plays harmonic sounds; the thinner it is, the more its sound is subtle, rich in nuances.

Freshly de-greased and hand-shaved on site to avoid a supplementary dipping which might render the skin more fragile, these replacement skins for djembe or drum head are neither salted nor tanned. They are dried naturally and are sustainably protected by an insecticide treatment.
