[Jetosek11593]

can we use rabbit skin for a djembe ?

@Jetosek11593 FEMALE GOAT SKIN ONLY

[arlan9188]

try to get a westafrican goatskin, without any holes in it.

when you buy a djembe look from the bottom side if there are holes or blessures in the skin.

the same whith the wood, sometimes it is broken and not handmade.

if a djembe sounds bad, find someone who can renew the tension of the ropes.

I like the ivory coast drums because of the ridge they have at the bottom of the bowl it makes it easier to keep both rings level and even. thats the key to having an even tone its also better to pull the skin after its completly dried for a couple of days pulling a wet skin is a waste of time and will not give you a major change in sound. i have a few drums for senegal ivrory, coast, & ghana a professional drum shell is made of soild dense wood, light woods are geared toward tourist .

[megasuchy]

Did you learn something about djembe?? Ivoirian??!!! Senegal has a lot better djembes than Ivory coast.Ivoirian djembes are similar to Ghanian,thereupon bad djembes and as you can see for tourists.Senegal also manufacture instruments for tourists,but they djembe culture is more extended.

[kamilkauz]

[kamilkauz]

i dont say evrery djembe in senegal are bad some are really good but in occidantal market we often find malian djembe like kangaba , ivoirian in iroko ,guinean ,burkina, they are best without difficulte seach

[megasuchy]

what kind of string is the best? in order to tight well mi djembe...  THANKS MAN

[egiletti]

the best string i a pre-stretched type better in kevlar or fiber like that. the less it is elastic the better it is..

[didglesville]

I spent 12 hours in a puddle of sweat in my bathroom reskinning a djembe. Never again! It didn't even sound good. Pay the experts, whatever they charge, that's what I say - it's damned hard work. This clip doesn't show just how hard it is! Nice guy by the way, thanks.

Notice the "Backbone" of the animal was placed in the center of the drum
