Customer Review: "Just received my Celtic Labyrinth 12" head djembe. I gotta say, I am overwhelmed with satisfaction for this drum. It is my first one but have been a drummer for well over 20 years. I love my drum & will not shop anywhere else ever, for my djembe needs. Thank you to everyone at X8 drums for a job well done. " -Rachele

How to Play Djembe and Care of Djembe
To play the Djembe sit on the edge of a chair. Cross your ankles and tuck them slightly under you. Hold the Djembe between your knees or thighs so that the bottom of the drum rests behind your heels. Djembe players will find a wide range of sounds can be produced from this instrument.
The best treatment for a skin head is use. The more a drum is played the better for the head. The natural oils from your skin will help to keep the head in condition. If you find the sound going a little dull you can re-tune the head using the cords.
Not sure where to start? We have experienced drum techs on staff that are happy to walk you through our entire selection to find the best djembe for your needs.
