The "Dragons" Drum



Scott "The Dragons" West African "Djembe" from Mali

Brief History of the Djembe Drum

The djembe drum originally comes from the former 12th Century Mali Empire. Today the djembe is West Africa's most popular drum, and is a favorite among amateur and professional drummers outside of Africa. The djembe is often played with ksink ksink, a set of 3 flat shakers made of tin, which represent the shields worn by drummers who played during a battle to motivate and send messages to the warriors.

The word Djembe means to "Come together" "Bring people together"
