| The
Dancing Drum Signature Series Djembes are designed from
the inside out, with sharp, defined contours, to produce
tones that have a deep bass, rich mid-tones, and crisp
slaps. Resting on a perfectly round and even bearing
edge is a high-quality, unbleached goat skin that produces
an authentic African djembe tone. Triple-ring mounting
systems and non-stretch 5mm rope hold the skin tightly
to the drum to help consistently retain the desired pitch.
A rubber foot on the base of the djembe offers protection
to the shell and surfaces that it is played on. Available
in three sizes, 9", 11", and 13", the
Dancing Drum Signature Series Djembes offer an exceptional
combination of professional quality, value, and sound. |

The deep bowl and larger head diameter of the 13” djembe gives this drum a deep bass sound, a rich tone, and a thick slap. Lightweight for a drum of this size, the 13” Dancing Drum Djembe is an impressive combination of professional quality design, durability, and value.

Our personal favorite...With the same excellent features as the 13" djembe,
Dancing Drum's 11" djembe is a perfect balance of size, weight,
and powerful djembe sound. This drum is a real "firecracker"!
9" Djembe, "Backpacker
Drum"

With the same outstanding features as our larger djembes, the 9" has
the full range of djembe tone, bass, and slap. It's the most portable
size drum we offer, which is why we call it our "Backpacker
Drum"! It's the perfect size to take on hikes, camping trips,
or other travels. And if you need a small, lightweight drum for kids,
the 9" djembe is a perfect fit.

Dancing Drum 11" Djembe Testimonial:
Well, I have to comment on the Djembe Drum I bought from Steve. It is the best sounding drum I have owned - had three different ones before. Also it is lighter to carry and to stand & drum with! Highly recommended.
Thanks, Steve

Review by Kristen:
The very first djembes made
from staved Siam Oak as opposed to being carved from a solid piece
of mahogany or hardwood.
There's a new djembe in town and it rocks! Back in November of 2006
Tycoon Percussion partnered up with Dancing Drum, a company based
in Santa Barbara that specializes in the drum circle and educational
market. They expressed to Tycoon the need for a high-quality but
affordable djembe and so together they embarked on creating one,
hence the name: "Tycoon Percussion - Dancing Drum Signature
Series".
These drums are just absolutely amazing both sound-wise and through
their appearance; I can say without any reservations that they are
the very best African drums on the market right now. You can view
some video clips of the drums being played right here.
They created a huge buzz at the NAMM show back in January, and were
used in the annual Remo drum circle! As a testament to their quality,
Remo's drum circle coordinator himself put these drums in the very
front row.
Made from sustain-ably harvested Siam Oak hardwood, the Dancing Drum
Signature Series Djembes are designed from the inside out, with sharp,
defined contours, to produce tones that have a deep bass, rich mid-tones,
and crisp highs. They're the very first djembes that are made from
staved Siam Oak as opposed to being carved from a solid piece of
mahogany or hardwood. Not only does this make the drums much more
environmentally friendly, they make them sound great as well. The
skins are pre-selected hand-shaved natural goatskin so every kind
of material used in the production of this drum is absolutely top-notch.
That is what separates them from other drums on the market.
Available in three sizes, the Dancing Drum Signature Series Djembes
offer an exceptional combination of professional quality, value,
and sound.
