12\"x24\" Ashiko

Please contact us to see what we have in stock. Orders may take 2 - 3 weeks for completion.

Our most popular hand drum, the Ashiko is available in a variety of sizes and wood types, including strong, lightweight western cedar.

These acoustically tapered drums have an expressive voice that is comparable to the djembe with a singing edge tone and a full bass.

Like all or our hand drums, it is durable: the adjustable lacing and binding rings give the shell extra strength. If you're interested in a drum that is dynamic yet portable, or smaller laced drums will give you the quality and versatility you need.

Of course, there are a variety of customizing options to choose from: ring colors, plain or trimmed hair-on goat hide head and woods! Wood options include western red cedar or a combination of walnut, birch, and cherry. Our hardwoods come from the mid-west.

Our most popular 12"x24" Ashiko can be built by you at one of our drum building workshops.

Remember, when choosing a hand drum, the deepness of the bass tone is proportional to the diameter and length of the shell.
