My daughter and I have been having fun with ours. It is a smaller size drum and drum head but seems to be good quality, so far. We've only had ours for about a month now. **Q: Are goats killed for their skin just to make these drums?** A: i would guess it is completely used and this is a byproduct of the butchery process **Q: Will it be small for my 9 year old boy?** A: The African drum will not be small, for grade and middle school boy, the height allows him sitting in a short chair to rest the djembe on the floor the djembe on the floor. Thanks for asking. **Q: How this djembe souds, my son want a djembe, I'm sonsidering this one?** A: This drum sounds pretty good for the price when struck using proper technique. Watch online instructional videos to learn basic striking techniques. It’s a good starter drum for small hands. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Craftsmanship + Fun *by H***T on May 24, 2019* Great quality; love the design. While it say's it's for "Children" I think drummers and non-drummers of multiple ages would enjoy it. That being said, I'm not sure I'd buy it for a 3 year old, but a little older child (and adults) would enjoy it. Just because I feel you should be able to appreciate the different tones and qualities -- depending on how you hold/hit it -- it produces. It's heftier and more solid than what I was expecting, and has a nice sound. And I do own other Aklot products (Ukulele) so I did have a somewhat high expectation in terms of quality, and I was not disappointed.I like the hand-painted design on the side. And that's one bit of my feedback feedback (not negative nor positive) is that what design you receive is random. Some may enjoy the element of surprise, while others may want a specific pattern/color to match their other gear. I like mine, and didn't mind not knowing, but just putting that out there.Also, having some sort of small book/manual included would be nice. How to hold it, what differentiates the Djembe from other African drums, etc. I know some people ignore manuals, but I have a little manual that came with a Mbira (not Aklot) and I appreciate some of those basic bits of info. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality and sound *by A***S on December 9, 2023* Wow! I did not have high expectations for this drum because the price was suspiciously cheap, in my opinion. But I bought it to use in a few numbers in a chorus concert I was directing, and figured it would be good enough. Well I’m pretty blown away at both the sound and the construction of this drum! The drum head on mine is easily 10” and I was surprised at how deep a sound a drum this size could make, and what a nice tone it has. On top of that, the elephant carving and paint job are pretty impeccable, and the whole thing is very sturdy / good weight for its size. I was kind of hoping for a dolphin one but the elephant is gorgeous and my main concern was how it sounded, and it sounds awesome! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Djembe made in Nepal. *by F***T on December 17, 2024* I’m a senior citizen who loves drum circles. I have a 24” tall djembe, it’s too heavy and cumbersome for me. This drum is much easier to handle and I like the sound better actually. I had a question about where the drum was made and received an answer promptly. Of course the drum is gorgeous looking.πŸͺ˜ ## Frequently Bought Together - Djembe Drum, AKLOT African Drum Hand-Carved 9.5'' x 20'' Mahogany Goatskin Drumhead for Adults Beginners (Red) - Eastar Bongo Drums 6” and 7” Wood Percussion Instrument Bongos for Kids Adults Beginners Natural Finish, EBO-1 - Percussion Maracas Pair of Shakers Rattles Sand Hammer Percussion Instrument with ABS Plastic Shells and Wooden Handles for Live Performances and Recording Sessions --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/159739416-mi2829](https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/159739416-mi2829) --- *Product available on Desertcart Israel* *Store origin: IL* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
