Drums for Schools wide top wooden djembe - 11 inch

Introducing the Drums for Schools wide top wooden djembe

A professional quality, wide playing head diameter djembe with hand carved interior, rubber base and a great tone. The head diameter is much wider than most similarly tall djembes and big enough for two-handed playing by most children up to around 11 years old. The drum is light and compact, reducing storage requirements and making it the perfect smaller size drum for primary age groups.

The extra volume of this djembe makes for an excellent, full bass tone. This top quality drum is specially designed for serious, long term use in Foundation Stage to KS2 settings and incorporates all the design features that have made DfS' bigger drums the standard for traditional djembe quality in schools around the world.

Each drum is turned from a single piece of mahogany and has professional quality, pre-stretched stringing and a thick, natural goatskin head for a long life and a mellow tone. Other features which mark these djembes out include the protective rubber base and extra smooth finishing inside and out - no splinters or rough edges.

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.
