Djembe Drum

773-DDR

The Djembe Drum is an outdoor djembe drum hand-carved from Jarrah with a durable stainless steel playing surface. It suits schools, early learning centres or public spaces. Children strike the drum to explore rhythm and percussion, developing musical awareness through shared play.

Drums come in three graduating sizes, from 300mm to 500mm high and 300mm to 400mm across, so a group of them forms a drumming circle that turns a corner of the playground into a shared musical moment. A stainless steel top over a hollow recess gives the drum its tone and stands up to weather and heavy use, and optional beaters extend play for larger groups. As a playground drum it works alone or as one of several playground musical instruments on a sensory trail.

We hand-carve each drum from Jarrah stumps in our O’Connor WA workshop, with detailing that follows djembe styling. Colours and features can be chosen to suit a project’s design, and the drum height can be adjusted to suit children of different needs, so it sits within reach of smaller children or a child seated in a wheelchair, an inclusive option. The structure is designed in accordance with AS 4685.

Installation available across Perth and WA, or supply-only Australia-wide with installation drawings for your contractor. Enquire about adding the Djembe Drum to your play space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Djembe Drum need a fall zone?

What age is the Djembe Drum suited to?

The Djembe Drum suits children aged 2 years and over, plus adults. The drum height can be adjusted to suit children of different needs, so it sits within reach of smaller children or a child seated in a wheelchair, and the three graduating sizes let you match heights across a group.
