Drums for Schools Sustainable djembe drum - 8.5"

Introducing the Drums for Schools Djembe drum - sustainable

A sustainable, affordable range of traditional wooden djembes crafted for long-term classroom use. Made from sustainably grown mahogany logs and certified by the international SVLK system, the smaller drums utilize timber offcuts from furniture and larger drum production. Each rough shell is hand-finished to precise standards of shape, thickness, and smoothness. The rounded rim ensures comfort, while the interior design delivers balanced frequencies for slap, bass, and tone techniques.

The steel rings are crafted from welded rods, and the high-quality goatskin drumhead, cut and fitted under the top ring, is thicker than most, providing durability and a mellower tone. The drums are strung with non-stretch, knotted nylon rope for reliable tension.

Eco-note:The wood for the drums is certified plantation-grown mahogany and wood products like these are a great way to store carbon, providing they’re kept for a long time and not thrown away.

Taking care: The drum is very tough and will last for a very long time if treated with care. When not in use keep it in a dry place away from direct sunlight or other heat sources. If it should get wet, let it dry slowly. Above all keep sharp points away from the drum skin, as this is the most fragile part.

Guarantee:The wooden drum shell is guaranteed for 5 years, and the drum skin is guaranteed for 2 years, but please follow the “taking care” instructions above.
