The djembe (pronounced /ˈdʒɛmbeɪ/ JEM-bay) comes directly from the saying "Anke dje, anke be" which literally translates to "everyone gather together", which defines the drum's purpose. The djembe is a member of the membranophone family of musical instruments and are commonly about 12" (30 cm) in diameter and 24" (60 cm) in height, varying a few inches. They can also be found at many smaller sizes, from 5" (13 cm) up to 18" (46 cm) in diameter. As a result of the goblet shape, the density of the wood, the internal carvings, and the skin, there is a wide range of tones that can be produced by the djembe. The rounded shape with the extended tube of the djembe body forms a device known in physics as a Helmholtz resonator, giving it the deep bass note. The primary notes are generally referred to as "bass", "tone" and "slap", though a variety of other tones can be produced by advanced players. The slap has a high, sharp sound and the tone is more "round" and full. The bass is the lowest.

The Doumbek is an ancient drum that originated in the Middle East and is believed by some to have been invented before the chair. The Doumbek is widely used in Hebrew, Arabic, Assyrian, Persian, Balkan, Greek, Armenian, Azeri and Turkish music. The Doumbek is known for its crisp sound and rich bass tones. The Doumbek has a thin responsive drum head help it produce a distinctively crisp sound.
