A Djembe is a type of a hand drum which was earlier popular in Arica and is now common in all parts of the world. This special type of drum has only one drum head which is generally made up of a goat head skin. The Djembe is played with both hands. It is positioned vertically between the legs and can be played sitting or standing (held by a strap or supported on a stand). The unique design of the Djembe drum is probably one of the reasons for its popularity. It is a goblet-shaped drum, which gives it very unique acoustical properties. Experienced players can even coax many more interesting sounds out of the drum.
