So Alex, if djembe has a cow skin and the tones are similar to conga, does that mean one has to play djembe with conga hand technique? Be peace, drum harmony, ...

Thank you everybody who emailed the list with some fantastic info on Kumpo and Circumcision. It has been very useful. This is a very knowledgeable list! Kind...
... From my experience, how tight to tune the head is mostly a function of the skin thickness- the thicker the skin, the harder it will be to break the skin,...

... That would be one diamond. Unlike a lug-tuned drum, with rope tuning the head and rings form a floating tension system, so tension added at one point...
... Djembe "tuning" is not like other percussion tuning (tympani, snare) where you have individual fixed lugs and it is possible to tighten one side of the...
HI all, One trick I use is when pulling diamonds: as long as the crossed ropes do not uncross themselves from their own tension, you are not yet tight enough....
