Good thing, you'll have plenty of business cause I have yet to see a West African djembe that has not had Invasive (Dark) Energy cast into it. Be adept at purging Curses, Jinxes and Spells in the multiple degrees that are found there, and some of them are well buried. They hinder the free expression and response of the djembe, and compromise its sound (the best drums you hear out there have the least I.E. for some reason).
Usually all this doesn't noticeably affect a drum's performance, with the exception being a drummer who's spiritually (energetically) advanced i.e. Soungalo Coulibaly. One can hear him almost fighting some of his drums to get his sound out of them, since the dimension (3rd) he was playing out of was pushing up against the Dark Energy in his drum(s).
Once this is purged out it's then immediately obvious, as I've directly experienced. For Soungalo it would've been a dramatic change given where he had evolved himself to - exquisite drummer none the less and further testimony to his deep intent and talent. Arguably perhaps, Soungalo was the most lyrical djembefola to play in modern times.
