About Us

I initially started by bringing in half a dozen djembe drums from Ghana and giving them to friends and family. The feedback was very positive, the drums sounded amazing and from there Goldcoast Drums was born...

I then moved to bring in half container loads of djembe drums and then finally container loads not just of djembe drums, but also dun duns, bougarabou drums, talking drums, peg drums, shakers, bells, bags and skins!!

I now stock and sell hundreds of African drums every year, with djembe drums by far and away the most popular.

GoldCoast Drums supplier 

One of the reason's for GoldCoast Drums success is because we have a reliable and honest supplier. Our manufacturer is renowed in Accra for producing high quality djembe drums that are meant to be played- NOT TOURIST DRUMS. 

My supplier is Anthony Apobbi a professional drum maker and musician in Accra, Ghana

His family have a steep tradition of making djembe drums and other percussion items and take great pride in their work.

He checks out all the instruments before they are sent out and won't send anything to us that doesn't meet his professional standards.

All the djembe drums sold adhere to Fair Trade principles. Everything sold on this site is made using wood from Managed Forests (for every tree cut at least another is planted)
