The ‘Djembe Drum – Budget – 6.5in diameter, 30cm high, Early Years’ is the second biggest of our Early Years budget djembe range and is supplied with a wooden drumstick and our Early Years “Good Practice Guide”. The drum is 6.5″ in diameter and is a working drum and not a toy. It’s big enough for very young children to play with two hands, and it makes a surprisingly good sound. It’s really good for young children because it can be handled easily and carried around by the string handle, but it can also be played by older children and even grown-ups, either with the wooden drumstick provided, or with the fingertips. Being relatively small it makes a higher pitched sound than bigger drums, and is a useful addition to a bigger djembe collection. Each drum is made by hand using traditional materials and techniques. The wood is mahogany, the playing head is goatskin and the skin is stretched tight using cotton string. The designs on these instruments vary from drum to drum and are engraved into the wood by hand by Wayan, who supervises the production of all our djembes and the designs were all created by Balinese primary school children. Eco-note: The wood for the drums is certified plantation-grown mahogany and comes from off-cuts from factories that make furniture. Wood products like these are a great way to store carbon, providing they’re kept for a long time and not thrown away. Taking care: the drum is tough and will last a very long time if treated with care. When not in use keep in a dry place away from direct sunlight or other heat sources. If it gets wet, let it dry slowly. Keep sharp points away from the drum skin, as this is the most fragile part. Guarantee: the wooden drum shell is guaranteed for 5 years and the drum skin is guaranteed for 2 years, but please follow the “taking care” instructions above. For SEN settings: Please put a note with your order if it is needed for a SEN setting, so that we know to include the relevant SEN teaching support materials.
