Leo has long been looking for ways to better use the valuable hardwood which is cut (and often lost) in the process of making djembes. Rather than make the very small djembes that he has in years past, he plans on putting together some prototype drums with the mosaic look of the Treefrog Percussion djembes, but the size, sound, and feel of a Dumbek. While the first drums will likely be rope tensioned, Leo hopes to find a source that can make tuning hardware for these drums. Check back here for developments, and as always please feel free to contact us if you have any inquiries or comments on this new drum design.
