  • @Jetosek11593 FEMALE GOAT SKIN ONLY

  • can we use rabbit skin for a djembe ?

  • @buswang  NO

  • 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.

  • @buswang

    u can used the skin of the pennis so that everytime you hit it.. it will go big.. lol

  • 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 .

  • ....que chimbada tan facil!!!!

    exelente video!

    gracias.
