Hello Djembefolas,

This is Marcus from Wooden Roots. (Formerly known as intalex0 on this forum).

I sell high quality drums in the Southern California area and also ship to anywhere in the U.S.

I directly import drums from West Africa and also hand-pick & purchase drums from U.S. dealers such as Drumskull Drums and WULA Drums. Please check my website and contact me if you have any questions or would like to make a purchase. The site is "work in progress" however most of my current inventory is on there.

Thanks and happy drumming,

Marcus

hi marcus,

that's a fine website! i really like how you have 3 separate price ranges for the djembes, and that you haven't compromised by sourcing poor quality drums - only guinean and malian drums from 2 very reputable suppliers. that's a great basis for your business. the drums look very nice.

i didn't see anything on ecological sustainability - are you or your suppliers doing anything in that regard? would be good to let your prospective customers know.

the only thing i'm a bit unsure of is some of the pricing. nearly $850 for a smaller mali drum seems very steep, even if it has a cow skin and a few tacks added for decoration. that shell has a nice shape though.

save me a t-shirt!

[rachelnguyen]

Hmmm, yeah, Bubudi, I agree that I was taken aback by that drum. It seems very stiff to me. Why would cowskin be so much more expensive, I wonder? The raw materials aren't much different in price.

My reaction to some of the pricing is much the same as Rachel's and bubudi's, though I do like the overall selection, etc. ...

But I'm not seeing such high prices elsewhere (and in saying that, I'm talking about dealers who sell truly high-quality drums).

[the kid]

Point us to the 50% off djembes please

[bubudi]

all drums priced to sell

sounds like all of them?

[rachelnguyen]

Nope, I could only find one drum at 50% off... it was one of the intermediate Mali drums that was used as a loaner for classes. Definitely looked like a bargain at $212.

The rest of the drums are very well priced at this point. I'd say if someone was in the market for a nice drum, now would be a fine time to go shopping, LOL.

[Trog]

Very nice drums and good prices.
