## Questions & Answers

**Q: What make this for children/starters/beginners, instead of for professional musicians?**
A: Honestly, I'm not sure, other than it's a smaller size drum but I've seen people of all ages, play different size drums so not sure. 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent quality and sound
  

*by A***. on Reviewed in the United States on 9 December 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!
