Custom Djembe w/Inlay P5

Posted on July 2, 2011 by Kevin Brown

I finally got this custom djembe finished up. I’m extremely happy with the sound. This is the first deer skin I have put on a djembe. I had previously gotten some rawhide deerskin cleaned and shaved that I put on an ashiko drum, but I got this skin raw a few hours after the kill… […]

Custom Djembe w/inlay P4

Posted on June 23, 2011 by Kevin Brown

I finally got a nice finish on this djembe.? I sanded down to 320 grit on the shell and sanded the inlay down to 1000 grit.? It was glossy enough for me, so I didn’t worry about buffing or polishing.?? Next I mixed 50/50 mineral spirits with boiled linseed oil and put on a heavy […]

Custom Djembe w/Inlay p3

Posted on June 14, 2011 by Kevin Brown

Custom Djembe w/inlay P2

Posted on June 11, 2011 by Kevin Brown

So my first attempt with the Inlace inlay system didn’t go as smooth as I had hoped.? It’s a very thin, watery mixture that would normally go on a flat level surface to cure.? They have a product called thicken-it that you can add to the Inlace resin to make it able to be used […]

Custom Djembe w/inlay P1

Posted on June 8, 2011 by Kevin Brown

I’m working on a djembe for a friend in return for some deer skins.? I decided it would be a great first “current project” for the blog.? I’ve already got the bulk of the djembe shell completed. I’m building this djembe out of staves (slats of wood glued up to be round) as I do […]

Blog Archives

Admittedly… my blog archive is pretty weak.  I mean come on, my most recent post was in 2015.  I tell my stories through Instagram these days… with a photo here and there.  I had grand plans of writing about everything I build and sharing with the world.  But I’m just not that guy.  My passion is building drums.  I might update this page, might not.  But for now.. maybe one of these past posts will catch your fancy!

Enjoy!
