Sound descriptions or audio files


We gladly help you find your exactly matching favorite drum if you can explane what you expect. Our experience is that soundfiles on the internet can't possibly show the true sound range of a live Djembe. Therefore we prefer sound discriptions that we supply in German language on each individual Drum. However, we are prepared to make short recordings for you in individual cases, to give you an audio impression of your favored instrument :-) Please be aware of the fact that the natural drum sound is much fuller and more detailed than the audio file can reproduce it. Often the deep bass frequences and many of the high frequences can not be heard on ordinary computer loudspeakers. You can use quality earphones go get a closer impression, but despite all technique it never reaches the level of the natural drum sound. One other important point is that audio files don't show the sound differences of individual drums clear enough. We hope for your understanding.

 

The international Djembe market


Unfortunately there are no international standards for African Djembe drums. Our quality descriptions and definitions are largely copied by many dealers worldwide without truely reaching the same standard. For nonprofessionals the truth of the advertised quality is hard to determine. Not every so named professional is in reality one. Some of the many offered so called professional Djembe drums would not even be accepted for our Basic Class category. Important know-how and detailed instructions about Djembe drumming can be found in our German Djembe-Forum. Please don't hesitate to ask us for further information.
