It's nothing much, 8'', rope tuned, and apparently no brand haha. It's really nice and sounds great! I'll have pictures as soon as I get back to the theater where I'm working in the pit as the primary percussionist.

Nothing wrong with that one, jd...could be you have an authentic African djembe (mine is a no-name special, too)...play it loud and play it proud, bro'...

Congratulations on the new djembe JD!

The sound is more important than the manufacturer bro, congrads on the Djembe, and welcome to the ranks of hand slammers!

My friend plays African drums and was playing one for me. Very cool sounds. Enjoy your new purchase!!!

Man, I miss my djembe!!!:icon_cry: Congrats man, I gotta get another!! Then I too will be feeling like...:dancing:

Cool jd. Where did you get yours? I was in Asheville, NC this past weekend and was at a drum circle and am now hooked. Prices?

Congrats on the new cool gear!

Asheville is an awesome town man, I saw a show there a few years ago at the Orange Peal. Great stuff. Are you from NC?

It depends on what kind of djembe you want, MM...I paid $165 for mine in 2001, and, as I said before, it is a handmade African djembe with the kinte cloth and rope tuning...

These days, Remo, LP and other companies make djembes that are tuned with a drum key or wrench depending on the model, and they come in wood or fiberglass shells in a variety of sizes and finishes, with either skin or synthetic heads (Remo's FiberSkyn, for example)...depending on all these factors, the price could be anywhere from $100 to $200 (or more)...

If you haven't seen this yet, man, here's a link to a review I did a while back on a couple of djembes...http://www.drumchat.com/showthread.php/tale-two-djembes-toca-1370.html

Good luck, bro'! :ok:

I picked it up at a flea market outside of town. It was only $20 and it sounded really cool so I said what the heck, I'm getting it. It has some very beautiful artwork on it also.
