Djembe Repair & Rehead - Relacing or Installing Ropes on Djembe Drum

[@josegoicuria3372]

Wow! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, wisdom, experience and your magic? You are a master at Djembe drum care, construction and repair. I'm sure much more. Much appreciate your taking time and giving away freely what I am sure has taken years of hard work and commitment to this wonderful and most joyful drum.

Thank you very much for your videos!! Very informative and favourable to studying some new material. I'm totally new to djembe drums and tuning/lacing process so your tutorials DO help me a lot! Thank you again! Cheers from Russia :)

super helpful thank you !

Hiya, thanks for the clear concise instructions, that's going to save me a lot of wasted time and heart ache haha!I inherited a small Djembe, the leather is in fine condition. but the rope was damaged and frayed, so I took it all off and am about to re-string it, I was wondering if it's necessary to soak the leather before putting it back together, in such a situation? thanks again.

[@nicholaszwack4724]

No need to re-soak the head. Try to reinstall in the exact same position. Good luck.

[@codymills8410]

Very cool! Thanks again!!

Thanks! Good luck with your drum.

It's hard to see how you're doing the beginning knot/loop. Is there another video that shows this?

[@wwdrums]

I'm not sure if there is a better view. Think of the knot as a simple granny knot but using two pieces of rope looped together. Not sure if that helps.

Thank you!!

How much would it cost to get a new skin on and rope for a 12" . I do live in Scotland and the drum I was given the goat skin head was burst. And I would like to do it myself. But if I can't that is why I am asking.

[@wwdrums]

I charge $80 to reskin a drum. This includes a skin and reusing the original rope on the drum. Shipping charges to Scotland for materials is not economical. You should be able to locally source a goat skin and rope if needed.

Hello. I have a Toca hand drum it's 12 in but the skin is a synthetic and it was just glued on with no adjusting mechanisms and I guess the Heat has loosened the glue to where the drum is too loose to play. Do you have any suggestions how or where I can have that repaired. Thank you very much

[@nicholaszwack4948]

Unfortunately, it sounds like the drum is not repairable. I recommend purchasing a rope or mechanically tuned Djembe.

[@yobrojoost]

You could try putting on a new skin by tying it, instead of using glue. You will need something to tie it to, of course, a ring or pegs around the drum. Good luck!

[@jelaniprophet4567]

to be honest, it is important to make sure both rings are straight. it affects the top ring.

[@Thekiki9733]

Where can you get two different size rings for the small drum I am making? Thank you. J. Hart

[@wwdrums]

Most of the time you can reuse the rope that was on the drum, unless is frayed or just cheep.

[@deasunja1367]

Great video. You're a good teacher imo.

[@davidequinto1470]

not mounting a djembe well

[@t3wells]

It would help if a bit more time was taken to demonstrate how the rope is routed through the top and bottom loops. You clearly demonstrate that the top loops have ropes running through them twice ....one for a down and one for an up. What is NOT clearly demonstrated is that at the bottom of the drum, each loop receives a ascending run AND a descending run. Consequently, I lost a lot of time routing a run through each single loop at the bottom. A bit more time and some close up camera work would go miles in explaining an otherwise very confusing process. Otherwise, I appreciate the series. Thanks.

I'm having the very exact same problem right now and he's like one of the only guys that I can find a video of doing verticals so it's very frustrating

[@teddyquammie5198]

😢 to use

[@kameyeam]

Video says nothing about replacing the rope
