I bought 4 djembes, the shipping time was only 5 days, do it is good enough. I ordered 4 different colour and pattern djembes . I got 2 same in the package . The djembes are beautiful handmade products and the sounds are amazing for all. The communication with the seller is good . I prefer to buy 15-20 more in the this year or next year.
Thank you for the djembes.
