We just got back from a family reunion in FL. It was cool to be with each other but hot there. Glad to be back at home. WE have another shipment of djembes from Ghana on the way. They should be here in a week. The Ghana djembes are very popular and sell quickly. WE are also planning to go to Paralounge for the weekend of April 24 – 26, 2009. I’m trying to get a cargo van so that we can bring the big drums too. If you’d like to put together your own djembe you can purchase a kit from DD&S and put it together while at Paralounge under Shorty’s direction. Call 800-549-3966 or email Shorty@goatskins.com.
