These advanced level Wula drums from Guinea are part of the Cosa series, offering great sound quality with a hardwood shell and a good quality hook up. Wula is widely known among professional djembe drummers as producing some of the best quality shells in the world. The Wula Cosa offers an exceptional value with an authentic, handcarved specialty hardwood shell from Guinea, a natural, thick goat skin, and imported low-stretch rope. The sound is crisp and bright with good projection and distinction between tones and slaps, with a low, full bass response.

The pictures above are representative of the drums we have in stock, ready to ship. All drums will match the written description, and will be very similar to those shown in pictures above.
This djembe was built at the Wula drum factory in Conakry, Guinea, and imported by Djembe Direct, where each drum is inspected, tuned, played, and carefully packed before shipping to you.
If you are comparing the Wula Cosa series to the Wula Standard Series, the main differences are wood selection, decorative carvings, and size: Wood quality will be one notch lower in Cosa vs. Standard, with allowance for more minor wood repairs, knots, and sapwood to heartwood transitions. The Cosa djembes are 11.75-12.5in bearing edge outside diameter, with Standard djembes being 12.5-13.75in. Standards have more detailed carvings that cover more of the base than the Cosas. We are not offering individual drum selection from our inventory at this time, except you may request a specific wood type, such as Lenke, Hare, or Acajou. |
