New Drums arriving weekly!
Custom drum orders are always available, message me to chat about having your dream drum built!!
Welcome to Woodspeak Drums! Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I sell the finest quality Djembe drums and Shekeres. Each djembe I sell is a hand selected top quality hand carved one piece Ivory Coast shell, built to my exacting specifications in my workshop in Michigan, same with my shekeres.
There are many, many, cheap, low quality djembes for sale on Etsy and everywhere else, poorly constructed with cheap materials.
This is NOT what I do. I've been a professional percussionist for almost 20 years, have performed in 48 US States and 12 countries, and only sell top quality, life-time lasting, excellent sounding instruments that I would play myself.
Check out my all 5-Star reviews and for a gallery of previous drums I've sold, just click on "All Sales", and buy with confidence! To chat about getting your dream custom drum built or with any other questions, send me a message and lets talk!

5 out of 5 starsBest Djembe I've ever encountered! The tone of this instrument is amazing. It's a completely different feel (goat skin head, not synthetic) and playing experience from other drums I've played. I highly recommend this shop!

5 out of 5 starsThis is a beautiful beautiful drum! It is tuned perfectly it rings with energy. It arrived on time.. no damage... looks exactly as pictured. I love the care to the bottom so that does not scrape the wood on the floor.. which overtime can wear the drum. It’s the best addition to solo work ceremony wise or for drum circle. The top skin is so good on my hands did I mention .. no blisters .. it comes already worn in. I didn’t have to bang it in to get the sound right like some of my other drums. This drum has Just an all around beautiful energy and equally gifted drum maker! My number one choice! I will continue to patronize this business. I love my djembe so much I gifted a custom one to a friend who also does spiritual work and was in the market for one❤️

5 out of 5 starsI play in a worship band and also do African drumming. I needed a drum that would work for both. I contacted Randall and had a great conversation on the phone. This was Friday. I purchased the drum asap and it was shipped on FRIDAY. I play on Wednesdays and was hoping it would get here by then. Even better It got here MONDAY. In a world with awful customer service, Randall went above and beyond. I get to practice 2 days with my new drum. Thanks for everything, Randall. Terry

About WoodspeakDrums
Dedicated to the finest sounding professional quality Djembe Drums and more!
My shop is based in Ann Arbor MI. Because I have yet to see any U.S. made djembe shell comparable to those hand carved in West Africa, I import the best raw shells from Ivory Coast, Guinea, and a few other places. I use only natural Ivory Coast goatskins, and non-stretch New England brand drum rope. I have been playing percussion professionally for over fifteen years, and I am VERY picky about the sound, look, and construction of every drum I make and sell. Buy with confidence!
