This djembe has been to many drum circles; it has been my go-to drum for practice; it has a good feel to it. Bought it several years ago at Target -- if you remember when Target had ads on TV for international type merchandise - this was one of the items .. sat on the floor at Target [ in FL ] and played every one on the shelves. Made 2 groups - some to play again -- others back to the shelves.
The drum was hand-made in Africa.
Always loved the sounds brought forth and the energy we exchanged. But, the head split when something fell on it.
Was introduced to a soul who could fix it in North Carolina. There is no way to describe how it feels - another drummer would understand. There is an energy my new Friend left while re-heading it with deerskin. Such a sweet, mellow yet deep sound .... thank you, My Friend - for your talent and the part of your spirit which remains from your touch.

Namaste,
Peggy
