drum building: make your own djembe! Saturday 1st October from 11am

Building your own drum is an intensely satisfying process. You may not even be a drummer but just be excited by creating your very own djembe from start to finish. The process involves oiling the wooden shell, wrapping the rings, roping up the drum, skinning and tightening/tuning. Prices start from $350.

The session will be held in our workshop in Woodend (Newham) - address supplied on booking.

For bookings and enquiries contact Simone 0431 434 538 or email us.
