A djembe (pronounced jem bay) also known as djimbe, jenbe, jembe, yembe or sanbanyi in Susu; is a skin covered
hand drum, shaped like a large goblet, and meant to be played with bare hands. The djembe is also known as the magical drum, and the mushroom-shaped drum. It is a member of the
membranophone family of musical instruments: a frame or shell (in the djembe's case it is a shell) covered by a
membrane or
drumhead made of one of many products, usually
rawhide. The djembe also has metal rings, rope, and skin.
