A small recommendation, trying to be in harmony with nature I'm making drums from naturally dead agave's that have lived their 30 years long life. It is not necessary to kill a living agave to make a good drum as some do. Making drum from already dead agave has a lot of advantages: agave is easily cleaned from long spiky leaves and does not need to be put  to dry it's naturally dried, building is easier etc. How to recognize dead agave  of course as each plant - when the stalks lose green color and brown crosses in the gray. Agave stalks are growing under some angle and  after dies stays upright until  the wind tilts it a bit and eventually topple. Such an agave that is naturally fell it's enough to shake it and all the thorns and leaves drops and immediately appears wonderful form of drum. Body of such  agave  tend to be thin, but it's not a big problem, even if the body is thin on one side, even if the agave has cracks along the length all it is perfectly resolved .... It is important to recycle this wonderful form that nature has done before  rottenness  and become food for insects

When I started to make drums (djembe agave drum), I would create them, normally, in a classic way with the skin of a goat.. Later I added to my collection a few agave djembe drums with drum head skin ... It was a little more difficult because I had to make a perfect circle on naturally imperfect body of agave. These two kinds of drums I had the opportunity to test, since I play (agavambe) drums in club's, music festivals and on the street as a street musician.. For performances I have my drum kit of four drums,  two with plastic skin and two with the skin of the  goat and so combine these two types of sound. The following is a short description of differences:                                                                                         

 CLASSICAL DJEMBE:                                

       GOOD: tribal soft sound, good resonance, creating Trance, making such a drum is easier 

       BAD: Subject to weather conditions (the difference in the sound of the night-day wet-dry), short duration of skin

DJEMBE WITH PLASTIC SKIN:  

       GOOD: Not subject to weather conditions, once tuned tonality remains the same, double the size of the volume (loudness), the durability of Drum Head

        BAD: Great resonance, Making drum is harder

To add to ...a drum with a plastic skin is leaving more Eco-friendly feeling because there's nothing on it of animal origin, although plastic is produced from petroleum that is created from sediments of creatures who died millions of years ago                                 so pick yourself ...                             

Hand-made percussive drums
great sound,
not very heavy as African djembe drums
opposite, they are very easy to carry
a big difference in sound is virtually imperceptible,
agavambe has deeper bass and djembe is better at higher sound.
Good materials are used for the building
of  drums ,and with each drum I have same
 goal witch is  to make quality instrument , aldo is different in sound than others ,because every agave is unique.
