 DRUMS 

Our drums are all high quality, individually hand-made and ethically traded instruments used primarily for music, dance and self-expression, but which can also be utilized for 'healing', 'space-clearing', shamanic work and for bringing people together to celebrate life and living in the moment.

We primarily trade in DJEMBES of varying sizes, designs and prices from Ghana, Bali & the Ivory Coast but also stock drums from other varied locations around the world including beautiful ocean drums from Nepal & Bali, bodhrans from both Pakistan & Ireland, darbukas from Turkey & Egypt, talking drums from Ghana & Bali, double-skinned frame drums from Mexico, single-skinned frame drums & tambours from Bali and Remo buffalo drums from the USA.

  DJEMBES... 

The djembe is the most popular West African drum and is now played all over the world as it can produce an amazing array of sounds created by its shape, skin, wood & tuning.   Traditionally it is made with a wooden shell and a goat skin playing area, attached with knotted cord to create the tension of the skin.  It is played raised off the floor to allow the sound to emerge fully, with both hands, fingers together, hitting the skin of the drum and bouncing off it to create the notes.  The main notes (played with either or both hands) are the BASS note played in the centre of the drumhead with the whole hand to create a beautifully deep & resonant sound; the TONE note played on the rim with the fingers which creates a higher sound; and the loud, SLAP note which is played by pivoting the hand onto the side of the drum and 'slapping' slightly splayed fingers onto the rim.
 

   Best quality sustainable wooden djembes - hand-made, traditional African drums: 
 

We primarily stock fabulous, traditional Ghanaian drums made from Africa Cedar
Wood (a softwood and hence not contributing to the deforestation of exotic hardwoods) and goat skin.  They are hand carved from one piece of wood from start to finish and are decorated with traditional carved designs (designs variable).  These djembes have a fantastic traditional sound, are well tensioned and come highly recommended.

They come in four sizes: approx 70cm high with approx 13” head at £149.00; approx 55-60cm high with approx 11” head at £115.00; approx 50cm high with approx 9" head at £70.00; and approx 40cm high with approx 7" head at £49.00.  Sizes are approximate as they are all hand made and therefore vary slightly, meaning also that each drum is unique!  The quality is always excellent and we have been using them personally for a number of years, so they come highly recommended!

Double roped versions, also from Ghana, are also available to order:
(50cm high with 9" head at £119.00; 55-60cm high with 11" head at £149.00 and 70cm high with 13" head at £179.00).

Singing Bowls are played by holding the bowl in the palm of one hand and the wooden beater in the other.  With a fairly firm yet even pressure rub the wooden beater (using about half-way up it) clockwise around the outside edge of the rim of the bowl.  As you rotate the beater around the outside rim of the bowl, maintaining an even pressure and speed, the friction created will make the bowl start to vibrate and 'sing'.  Keep playing smoothly, allowing the sound of the singing bowl to build up slowly as the vibration increases.
