Big Base Djembe - Inquire
...originally made to be a Marching / Performing Drum
Carved from Pine which is unusual for a Big Djembe.
The original log was 20+ inches wide which was perfect for a big base drum of this type with a 16 inch wide head after tapering. The neck and base are super wide. It could have been carved thicker in the bowl, but that would have made the drum too heavy. It would be a sit Down Drum. The weight that it is allows it to be played Standing with a harness.
The Drum as it is is played heated with fire, Then it has a Sharp edge Crack for soloing and a Deep Sharp Bass Tone in the center.The drum has been headed three other times, each differently...If a Percussionist is interested in a Unique double headed drum, this shell would be perfect for a Djembe styled Djun Djun with a double head to be played with sticks.

....I no longer make Drums of this standard size out of fine hard woods...The Drums expand and contract with Climate and Heads will Crack. It doesn't create a Problem. sometimes the Crack will give a Unique Buzz sound to the tone which may be kept.
in General, Most of the Box Drums that I make are out of Pine. The Heavier drums
are good for Musicians who play with other instrumentation.
