Djembe and Dun Dun Drums

African Drum Master and Maker, Djam Vivie', Guided 20 students through the making of Djembe and Dun Dun Drums. Cherry wood was gathered from a fallen tree in the school forest and used for the drums. Students debarked, gutted, sanded, finished, decorated, and headed their own drums. Then were given drum lessons by Djam. The students then went to the school forest to play for the trees and honor the gift given them by the earth.
