Drumming provides a means of expression through rhythm. This is particularly evident with drums which are played with the hands. West Africa drums allow anyone to experience the joy of expressing themselves in music.

These West Africa drums, known as Djembe drums, have been a traditional bongo drum used in Africa for hundreds of years. The benefit of this type of drum is that anyone can play it regardless of ability. A Djembe drum is tuned through a series of tightened ropes that stretch down along the side of the drum?s body.

Different tones can be created with the Djembe drum depending on where it struck and with which part of the hand. From such a simple instrument a wide variety of sounds and notes can be created with very little training.

These West African drums work well with many other different types of percussion. The Djembe has been used by many professional musicians and bands including the Beatles, U2, Jason Mraz and Queens of the Stone Age.

Travelling and street semi-professional performers that play mostly acoustic and folk based music will appreciate the ease of transportation and set-up that West Africa drums provide. The nature of the sound which the Djembe creates means it is suitable for outdoor and indoor performances. It has the energy and wow factor which when it is played in groups it captivates both the audience and the players.

For the beginner, a West Africa drum can certainly offer a entry into the world of rhythm in a way which does not break the bank or take up an inordinate amount of room. This type of drum is also not as jarringly loud as a traditional drum set, which is good for people living in flats and smaller houses.

For teachers of music, the West Africa drum can bring the joy of music into the more rhythmically inclined of students. Introducing Djembe drums to a lineup of other simple to use instruments can develop teamwork and cooperation among students or colleagues of any age and skill level.

The assortment of uses for a Djembe drum has made it a very popular and a highly sought after instrument. Those looking to buy this kind of drum can find high quality models at very affordable prices through reliable e-commerce websites that can ship the drums directly to any doorstep.
