Jambe - Black Deer

(larger image)

Description: Poised in a quivering instant of stillness, a young deer stands silhouetted in light. Its elegant carved image defines the body of this dark jambe drum by Khoirul Anam. Percussion instruments play an important role in the traditional Balinese Gamelan orchestras that accompany dances, rituals and ceremonial events. Anam creates this beautiful example of mahogany wood, affixing the goatskin drumhead with nylon rope. Product item: 66521 Price:  $58.95 Shipping Weight: 2.2 pounds Dimensions: 7.1" Diam. x 11.8" H

"I purchased the Mahogany jambe drum, 'Bhoma, Lord of the Forest' for my boyfriend who is a drummer. He had recently broken the head on an African hand drum he owned and I looked forward to surprising him for his birthday with a replacement. Aside from the absolute beauty of the instrument, the tone is incredible! We are both thrilled with the quality of Mr, Anam's work and look forward to seeing and potentially purchadsing other pieces from this talented artist."
