Percussion Plus Honestly Made Gumbe - 10"

Introducing the Percussion Plus Honestly Made Gumbe

Made using traditional methods and materials, the gumbe is constructed from stretched goatskin over a durable wooden box.

The gumbe has a varied soundscape with a bright, ringing slap underpinned by a solid bass. The variety of sounds make it perfect for a variety of uses and a great addition to drum circles.

These items are musical instruments not toys and there may be small parts on or in some of them. Younger players should use them under supervision.

Playing the Gumbe

To play, the drummer sits on the wooden box and plays the drum with both hands and the heels of the feet, which are pressed against the drum head to change the sounds.

Our sustainable packaging

We use as little packaging as possible for our Honestly Made products, but where it’s needed, we’ve chosen I’m Green renewable polythene – a carbon-neutral material that’s 95% renewable and fully recyclable. Some items may still arrive with our previous biodegradable packaging as we strive to use up existing materials, but whichever form it takes, it’s all part of our effort to reduce waste and supply sustainably.
