Stave Construction
Djembes
Stave construction djembes come in pine, poplar and responsibly harvested maple, cherry or walnut. The sleek lines and clear tonal definition make our stave construction djembe a very popular drum. Although we offer both stave construction and hand carved djembes, there are a couple of advantages that stave construction drums have over hand carved instruments. First, the wood for stave construction has been kiln dried and is very stable and less prone to cracking due to moisture fluctuations. Second, stave construction uses less wood to begin with and creates less waste as the drum is created. The scraps left over from creating a large stave constructed drum can be used to create smaller drums. Stave construction djembes are lighter in weight than most hand carved djembes and we have carefully designed these drums to have an excellent tonal range and volume. Choose the 14" x 26" pine djembe for an ultra-light weight drum with a HUGE sound that will rattle your bones!
