AKLOT Djembe Drum, African Drum Hand-Carved 8 inches Mahogany Goatskin Drumhead for Adults Starter Beginners

Wow! I did not have high expectations for this drum because the price was suspiciously cheap, in my opinion. But I bought it to use in a few numbers in a chorus concert I was directing, and figured it would be good enough. Well I’m pretty blown away at both the sound and the construction of this drum! The drum head on mine is easily 10” and I was surprised at how deep a sound a drum this size could make, and what a nice tone it has. On top of that, the elephant carving and paint job are pretty impeccable, and the whole thing is very sturdy / good weight for its size. I was kind of hoping for a dolphin one but the elephant is gorgeous and my main concern was how it sounded, and it sounds awesome!

I am not familiar with Djembe's - so when my son's friend suggested it as a gift for him I started researching. This particular one had good reviews and was priced to my liking so I took a chance. Glad I did - it was a huge hit! Quality of material, sound, and size hit the mark for my beginner drummer.

très apprécié de ma petite-fille

Very happy sounds good and looks good

This is a great sounding drum. especially for the price. the goat skin makes all the difference here.light weight and easy to play. just big enough to learn Djembe techniques properly.
