This Week's Update

7/6/2017

 
                                              These Shop Built are for Sale!

July is an exciting month for us. We are expecting some shipments from West Africa. The first one from Ghana will contain a majority of drums, some shells, and a new smaller size of djembe. It also contains some nice percussion and should arrive around the middle of the month. The Ivory Coast container has djembes, bougarabous. goatskins, cowhides, and djuns. It should be here around the last week of July. Krins and djembe shells are on their way from Guinea. We do keep a waiting list (and it already has several names on it), you are welcome to call and add your names and wanted items to it.  Call for more information and to order. 800-549-3966.

Djembe Drums & Skins,Inc  just sent out a newsletter with all sorts of information about our business and drums. We also included information about upcoming events that we support. Unfortunately there were some typos in the information about the Drum Builder's Conference 2017. So we created an "Events" page with all of the correct information. My sincere apologies to Rick Liegl. Click here for the information about these events.

Many of you are aware that our area has been besieged by horrific fires. They were not in our part of Sevier County, TN, however many of our dear friends have been affected. Some do not even know if their homes survived. We are praying for them. Our staff are all safe. We really appreciate your concerns. Please send prayers to this area as the community recovers from this awful tragedy. We are thankful that our homes and businesses are all safe.

It with great sadness we have to announce that one of our best friends and accomplished drum builders has passed.  Susan Iwaniw is at peace after a brief illness with cancer. DeerHawke Baker and Djembe Drums & Skins, Inc created djembe out of one of Susan Iwaniw's shells. It was purchased by Rob Reid of My Cauldron in West DeLand, FL). It will be the shop drum and will be passed around in a drumming memorial for her on Oct 15 at My Cauldron. the profit from the djembe will be donated to the hospice that was so helpful to both Susan and her sister. https://www.thehospicefoundation.org/
