Choose from the following drums:

	Djembé (jem-bay) - The djembé is undoubtedly, one of the most powerful drums in existence.  It dates back to the 12th century and the great Mali Empire of West Africa. It has an incredible tonal range, from thunderclap, to whisper soft, setting it apart from other drums.
	Kpanlogo – traditional peg drum from the Ga Tribe of Ghana.  It is smaller than the conga but of similar shape and sound. Traditionally antelope skin is used for its head.  This drum produces a soft, resonant tone and is played with the hands
		Doun Doun - These double ended bass drums, made with cow skins, are played with sticks and are found in many West African countries.
