Drum skinning, tuning, maintenance and repairs.
With ten years experience of skinning these drums I work to a professional standard and can advise you on all aspects of Djembe. In 2008 I was funded by the arts council for professional development where I spent a month in the Gambia studying from master Djembe builders as well as working with master builders Jamie from Drumroots. These are just a few of my results since then.

I will also teach you to skin your own drum for the same price it costs to skin it. Discount for groups.
