25cm Carved Djembe

This small 25cm carved djembe drum is a brilliant starter hand drum, perfect for beginners, kids, and anyone wanting a lightweight percussion option for home rhythm sessions or group play. Each drum features a sturdy wooden shell, rope tuning, and a natural hide head that gives a warm, lively tone despite its compact size.

Djembes have deep roots in West African musical tradition, where they’re played to accompany dance, celebration, and community gatherings. Even at this smaller size, the familiar goblet shape and rope-tuned hide head follow the same principles as full-sized drums, giving players an authentic feel and a responsive sound.

This djembe is hand carved, with skilled artisans using traditional carving techniques to create each drum individually. As with all our Indonesian percussion, it’s sourced on a Fair Trade basis, supporting small workshops and helping keep these craft traditions thriving.
