“Bought a master series djembe off these guys and couldn't be happier. As someone that used to make and skin djembes, their drums are so well made. Quality rope, skins, shells and so well put together. Being on the west coast, I couldn't come in to play the djembes, so having Simon and guests demonstrating how they sound is brilliant. So well packaged too, took me half an hour to get through the layers of cardboard and bubble wrap!! Arrived sooner than estimated too which was a bonus.”

“Simply the best. Have had numerous transactions with Simon and the team, online and in the shop. Everything has been first class and as a long term drummer and involved in African music in some form for decades I truly understand how lucky we are to have AD still functioning in our country. Support and keep our hands on skin.”

“So easy and efficient to deal with. Living interstate is not an issue with African Drumming as there website allows you to browse and view vidoes of products (Dejembes) you may purchase. Phone and email contact was seamless and with quick follow ups. Delivery was well within stated expectations. Great range and advice.”

“I have bought quite a number of instruments and accessories from African Drumming. Each product has been as described, of high quality and arrived well packaged. African Drumming always seeks to minimise the transport costs, sends items promptly and I always expect that it takes some time for items to arrive as I live in a rather remote regional area. Buying items, especially musical instruments online has its challenges and I have contacted the staff at African Drumming on a number of occasions to get more information, even a video of the sound of a particular instrument. The staff has always replied kindly and promptly to any of my messages.”

“Simon and the Team at African Drumming were super friendly and experts on african drumming. They were extremely patient and took time to send videos plus answer all my questions. They are very consultative in their approach as they want to make sure they understand your goals/preferences and match a drum to yuor requirements. I bought a beautiful Primo Series 13.75" Guinea Djembe - Erikson and extremely happy with it”
