THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!! EVERY BIT AND MORE OF WHAT I EXPECTED. I am REALLY pleased with the drum cases. The quality is superior. I'm sorry I didn't order 8; but, live and learn. The talking drums are a real kick. I know my kids (grown ones too) will love them.

I am happy with the Gome drum, which I thought was cleanly designed and constructed, and (more importantly) which sounds good.

The drums arrived in Denver on Tuesday July 22nd but US customs did not inspect and release them to me until yesterday August 1st. I am so totally happy with all of the Djembes. Pure works of art. So, thank you so very much for all of your help along the way. it's been a pleasure. Sincerely.

I'm immensely satisfied with my order. I find everything to be of superior quality. I've explored your web page and I think the concept is wonderful. I hope to do repeat business as well. Honestly I've been apprehensive about doing business with some parts of Africa because of past episodes of problems. Your web page offers a number of safeguards and I found staff very accommodating as well. We have a dance company here in Tampa and we have performed Ghanaian dance for the last 25 years. Our mentor was Nana C.K. Ganyo who passed away last year in Arizona but was buried there. We're so delighted to have such high quality instruments, he would be very proud. Thank all of you for your time, cooperation and integrity.
