how to make djembe

A djembe drum can be made using the following steps:

  1. Choose the wood for the drum shell, typically goatskin or hollowed-out tree trunk.
  2. Carve the drum shell to the desired shape and size using tools like a chisel or saw.
  3. Stretch and attach the drumhead to the shell using ropes, usually made of nylon or hemp, that are tightened and tied to the shell.
  4. Carve or sand the drum shell to smooth it and give it a finished appearance.
  5. Paint or decorate the drum as desired. Note: This is a simplified version of the process and requires proper tools and experience to create a high-quality djembe.
