At 8 inches, it provides a rich, resonant sound suitable for both beginners and experienced drummers. The craftsmanship is evident in the detailed carving, and the goatskin head delivers a traditional tonal quality. While the drum’s compact size makes it portable and versatile, some users may find it less suited for more advanced or larger-scale performances.

I’m a senior citizen who loves drum circles. I have a 24” tall djembe, it’s too heavy and cumbersome for me. This drum is much easier to handle and I like the sound better actually. I had a question about where the drum was made and received an answer promptly. Of course the drum is gorgeous looking.🪘

Drum was exactly as described. Extremely well made and sturdy. Great birthday gift for my 8-year-old nephew who loves percussion music.

I am not familiar with Djembe's - so when my son's friend suggested it as a gift for him I started researching. This particular one had good reviews and was priced to my liking so I took a chance. Glad I did - it was a huge hit! Quality of material, sound, and size hit the mark for my beginner drummer.

Wow! I did not have high expectations for this drum because the price was suspiciously cheap, in my opinion. But I bought it to use in a few numbers in a chorus concert I was directing, and figured it would be good enough. Well I’m pretty blown away at both the sound and the construction of this drum! The drum head on mine is easily 10” and I was surprised at how deep a sound a drum this size could make, and what a nice tone it has. On top of that, the elephant carving and paint job are pretty impeccable, and the whole thing is very sturdy / good weight for its size. I was kind of hoping for a dolphin one but the elephant is gorgeous and my main concern was how it sounded, and it sounds awesome!

Great quality; love the design. While it say's it's for "Children" I think drummers and non-drummers of multiple ages would enjoy it. That being said, I'm not sure I'd buy it for a 3 year old, but a little older child (and adults) would enjoy it. Just because I feel you should be able to appreciate the different tones and qualities -- depending on how you hold/hit it -- it produces. It's heftier and more solid than what I was expecting, and has a nice sound. And I do own other Aklot products (Ukulele) so I did have a somewhat high expectation in terms of quality, and I was not disappointed.I like the hand-painted design on the side. And that's one bit of my feedback feedback (not negative nor positive) is that what design you receive is random. Some may enjoy the element of surprise, while others may want a specific pattern/color to match their other gear. I like mine, and didn't mind not knowing, but just putting that out there.Also, having some sort of small book/manual included would be nice. How to hold it, what differentiates the Djembe from other African drums, etc. I know some people ignore manuals, but I have a little manual that came with a Mbira (not Aklot) and I appreciate some of those basic bits of info.
