Customer Review: "Just received my new 14" Ruby Pro and it is the most incredible drum I have ever played. Cannot believe how crisp the tones and slaps are as well as a great bass. The drum itself is so beautiful and the workmanship impeccable." -Michael

"I ordered my drum on Thursday, March 12 and was so excited when it arrived March 13, WOW what deliver service. The phone service I received while ordering was fantastic. The drum - Ruby Diamond Pro is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and the sound is terrific. I went to a drum circle Friday night and everyone loved it and of course asked where I got it. Thanks again from the great service and the beautiful drum. When I order another it will definitely be from X8." -Kathy

    Love this drum!

    Posted by Marcus on 18th Oct 2023

    A friend had a djembe I tried years ago, and I always wanted one to learn, and this drum is great. I wanted something large that had great bass. Totally recommend.

    Amazing Drum

    Posted by Kurt on 4th Jan 2017

    I am completely impressed with this drum. Way more than I expected it to be. Room filling base, bright tap tone and sharp slap tone. Really happy with it.

    13" Ruby Djembe

    Posted by Peter Sakelos on 28th Jul 2014

    The Djembe is Beautiful and very well made. The tones on this drum are awesome, crisp high tones and thundering low tones. I would recommend this drum to any serious Djembe player.

    WOW!

    Posted by Kent on 11th Jul 2014

    I facilitate drum circles and own over 60 djembes, from inexpensive fleet drums to more exotic African hand-made works of art. I bought the larger Ruby, and, WOW! Right out of the box, the sounds out of this drum rival anything I have ever played! Congrats, X8.
