Drum Jackets 03/07/2012
 
Take a look at the new Drum Jackets that I put on the Cases/Straps page. These Djembe/Bougaraboo backpack style Jackets are handmade in the USA by one of our customers. They are made of heavy duty tapestry type upholstery fabric. The opening is a zipper that extends from the top through the bottom of the well padded bag.
 
 
Shorty just received a shipment of hairless goatskins. Yea!
 
 
The organizers of the Drum Circle Facilitator's Guild conference did a terrific job of bringing in a good balance of speakers and activities. We learned about unity in the community, enhancing participant engagement, learning from the inside out, working with teens, working with young ones, new ideas and songs. We even toured Kenya and Cuba. The late night drumming was wonderful and dreamy. Actually the level of drumming and music was just awesome. I've said it before it's like listening to dessert all day long. Here are photos of Shorty conducting his workshop on re-heading a rope tuned drum.
 
 
We just received a shipment from Ivory Coast. Check out the Ivory Coast Djembes/Shells page to see the gorgeous, new Lenge shells we received. We also have some beautiful Djembes and 6 sets of Djun Djuns (2 sets are already sold and out the door). The long awaited cowhides and thick, hairy goatskins came too.
While we were struggling with getting the container here, we also received a large shipment of Djembes from Ghana. We have all sizes including a few minis in stock right now.
