Welcome to DjembeDirect.com, the premiere online web store for imported, African-made djembes, dunun, congas, and other traditional African hand drums. We have four quality levels available (Tourist, Classic, Paragon, and Professional), size ranges from pre-school through super-size, accessories, hand percussion, free information, repair service, drum supplies, satisfaction money-back guarantee, and more!
We don't offer manufactured drums like Remo or LP, and we don't support factory produced so-called "African" djembes from Bali - Indonesia, China, or elsewhere. Help keep the African drum culture alive by supporting traditional style, carved drum, made by African artisans.
