This pair of 11" conga drums delivers an impressive tonal range, each tuned to a distinct pitch with high-quality rope, complementing one another beautifully when played together. Their sounds range from a sharp, piercing slap to a deep, resonant bass, allowing for dynamic expression from a roar to a whisper. Known for exceptional sound quality, the durable drumheads are goat skin. 
 
Made from Tweneboa, a sustainable West African Cedar of a very best quality, the drum is carved with either regional-themed patterns or Adinkra symbols, of which you can explore the meanings through various blogs like this. Tweneboa is also a lightweight wood compared to hardwood alternatives, making the drums easier to carry.
 
Unlike factory-made versions, these genuine fair-trade drums are handmade in Ghana by professional musicians, designed to be played and loved.
 
Every drum is handcrafted by skilled musicians we've partnered with for over 20 years, supporting and preserving ancient Ghanaian musical traditions.
The instruments are all individually handmade, rather than mass-produced in factories.
The body is made from sustainably sourced Tweneboa, a fast-growing wood, obtained under licence from the Ghana Forestry Commission.
The durable goat skins are unbleached, providing superior sound quality.
Every drum is polished with sesame oil and carefully tuned before being sent to you.
 
If you're looking for a genuine drum with heart, heritage, and a beautiful sound, this is it.
