About Our Drums

Goldcoast Drums are djembe drum specialists 

All the drums are hand crafted by my master drum maker in Accra, Ghana. The drums you see on this site not only look fantastic but sound fantastic too. They are made to be played and are not the cheap, mass manufactured tourist drums that you see all over the net.     

I deal directly with my drum manufacturer in Ghana. His family are steeped in the history of making drums and have been doing so for over 50 years.

Every drum is hand picked and carefully inspected to make sure that it is a high quality musical instrument and also a piece of art.

IF THE DRUM DOESN'T SOUND GOOD...IT DOESN'T GET SENT.

The drums are checked for cracks and other imperfections and finally the skin is treated for anthrax and other bugs.

I can guarantee that all the drums have:

  • Shaved, treated and quality checked goatskin heads.
  • Beautifully hand carved cedar wood finish.
  • Wood that has been quality checked, stained and then a wax protector applied.
  • All djembe drums are double stringed for extra hold and sound quality
  • All drums are tested & tuned in Ghana for sound quality
  • All drums are then tested & tuned (if needed) by myself before I send them out 

As you can see from my site I have lots of different designs and different sized drums. They range from a 6" to 20" diameter drumhead!

I import drums by the container load to keep my prices as low as possible. I always have stock and store hundreds of drums in my office (which is packed to the rafters!) You are more than welcome to VISIT ME  and try any instrument out.

I GUARANTEE each drum I send out, if you are not happy with the drum, be it the design, the quality or the sound then send it back within two weeks and I'll be more than happy to replace the item or give you a FULL REFUND including your original shipping/packing cost.

PLEASE BUY IN TOTAL CONFIDENCE, have a look around my site and if you have any questions please phone me or email me, I'm always available.

All the djembe drums and other drums I import are Fairly Traded and we adhere to all their principles.
