The Ruby Pro djembe drum is a professional level djembe that sounds absolutely fantastic and is built to perfection. Made with the utmost care and attention to detail this djembe is a hand-carved beauty that is not only stunning but a true work of art.

Each drum is made from solid legally harvested, government inspected and certified mahogany logwood. The log is lathe turned for uniform thickness with lateral groove/rough surfaced carvings on interior bowl to reduce overtones.

The natural, unbleached goat skin drum head is fixed in position with a 3 ring system for stable, longer lasting tuning. Because the drumheads are not bleached, the tone will be warmer and each will have unique visual characteristics based on the hide selected.

The tuning rope is low stretch alpine nylon HTB 5mm.

Note on sizing: The sizes listed are the average measurements for that model drum (head diameter x drum height, measured outer-ring to outer-ring and top of drumhead to bottom of drum base). Since every drum is hand carved, the measurements can vary by up to 1 inch.

    I'm a longtime djembe enthusiast for recording hand drums on my own various style original projects. I'm no expert, but as far as I can tell, this is a very high quality drum. Mine is the 12x24 size. Carving, goat skin head, rope, all bear the appearance of good quality. It may have come tuned a little looser than it could be -- though it's not bad the way it came. Djembe's are widely used to accompany dancers, especially in university dance classes, and this would be a very good choice for a not-so-tall dance musician. I'm 5'8" and this size is fine for me, but someone over 6' should consider the 14" version, as the 12' may be a little short for proper playing position. (Do verify that the 14" version is in fact also taller.)
