The Djembe drum is undoubtedly one of the most powerful drums in existence. It has been called "The Healing Drum", and dates back to the 12th C. great Mali Empire of West Africa, and the Mandingo people. A sacred drum, it was utilized in ceremonies such as healing, ancestor worship, rites of passage, warrior rituals, communication and storytelling. It has an incredible tonal range, from body-felt base to thunderclap slap tone, and a dynamic range from whisper soft to a lions roar, setting it apart from other drums.
