About the Shell:
Lenke (Afzelia africana) is renowned as a premium timber for djembes, offering the perfect balance between density and weight. Often referred to as the spiritual wood of West Africa, Lenke is typically orange or deep yellow, providing excellent projection and a full tonal range. This wood is particularly well-suited for larger drums, producing a resonant and powerful bass.
About the Hide:
The yearling skins used on this djembe strike a balance between the warmth of cowhide and the crispness of goatskin. These young cow skins are increasingly popular among djembefola for their versatility, offering both warmth in the lower tones and bite in the higher registers. We carefully select the best hide to match the shell, ensuring a dynamic and expressive drumming experience.
