How it works
About Us
This online studio shop is the result of a partnership between Djembe Studio, a prominent online learning platform for djembe students worldwide, and Wassoulou Percussions, a distinguished manufacturer and exporter of Mandingo drums based in Mali.
For over twenty-five years, Wassoulou Percussions has been a leading presence in the industry, playing a crucial role in the evolution of djembe making. Being at the forefront of shaping the appearance and sound of the djembe over the years, their drums are not only instruments of the highest quality but also embody a rich heritage and musical legacy.
The instruments you see in this shop are crafted from the finest traditional hardwood, paired with the highest-quality Malian skins. Each piece undergoes a meticulous selection process, from the wood curing stage all the way to professional assembly and tuning. One of the most crucial aspects of our djembe’s quality lies in our commitment to the wood maturation process. This ensures powerful resonance, full tonal quality, and long-term durability, minimizing the risk of warping, cracking, and shape disintegration, resulting in drums of the utmost quality, standing the test of time.
With Djembe Studio’s passion for education and Wassoulou Percussions’ unparalleled craftsmanship, this partnership celebrates the ever-evolving legacy of the djembe with musicians and djembe enthusiasts all over the world!
