The original nature of tribal drums will be reflected by variances from the Djembe drum as shown, each piece of a specific style is similar, but not identical.

The Djembe is the drum of the Mandinka people, dating back to the great Mali empire of the 12th century. A goblet-shaped hand drum traditionally chiseled from a solid log by local artisans, the Djembe is found in Togo, Guinea, Mali, Sierra Leone, ivory Coast and Senegal. It is traditionally played standing with the drum between the legs and supported with a shoulder harness. A sacred and versatile drum utilized in healing ceremonies, ancestor worship, rites of passage, warrior rituals, as well as social dances.
