Frequently Asked Questions

How do you hold and play the Pura Djembe correctly?

To play the Pura Djembe, rest it between your knees with the drum tilted slightly forward so sound can escape from the bottom. Use the pads of your fingers and palms to strike the head—playing near the center produces deeper bass tones, while striking closer to the edge creates higher-pitched slaps. Keep your hands relaxed and alternate strokes for rhythm. It’s small and lightweight, making it ideal for children and beginners to learn basic hand-drumming techniques.

How can I make the Pura Djembe sound its best?

For the best sound, make sure the drumhead is kept dry and away from extreme temperatures. Let it warm slightly before playing to bring out the tone. Play on a stable surface or hold it firmly between your legs to allow the sound to resonate properly. Use a combination of center and edge strikes to explore its full range of tones. Over time, practice and hand technique will have the biggest impact on the quality of sound you produce.

What size is it and who is it best for?

This Pura Djembe is 6 inches wide and is best suited for young players, beginners, or as a travel-friendly drum. It’s lightweight and easy to carry, making it great for music sessions on the go, in classrooms, or at home. While it’s smaller than a standard djembe, it still produces clear tones and is ideal for learning rhythms or casual jamming.
