Did You Know?
There are many sounds and tones that can be produced by the djembe:1. The "bass" sound which is relatively low pitched is made by striking the djembe drum skin right in the middle
2. Whereas the tone is produced by striking the edge of the drum skin using the wrist or bottom of the palm to create a medium pitched sound.
