Want to take a peek? Message me! And, I've also got some new Ivory Coast and Ghana drums in Melina, Iroko, and Tweneboa for those who prefer a lighter drum.

🥁 Exciting News for Djembe Lovers! 🥁 Our latest shipment isn't just any rope – it's specifically designed right here in the USA for rope-tuned drums, especially the djembe! This static rope boasts a maximum stretch of only 4% at its breaking point (around 1100psi), ensuring your drum stays perfectly in tune.

We exclusively use the ideal 3/16″ (4.7mm) diameter rope for optimal performance. Proudly Made in America!

Our rope features a strong and workable 16 carrier braided sheath. This prioritizes strength and the performance is unmatched! Inside, a 100% white polyester core with NO braids or weaves guarantees minimal stretch over time and even tension distribution.

Available colors:
* Blue/Black
* White
* Black with Red, Yellow, Green Flecks
* Green/Black
* Black
* Dark Olive
