Hamsa Wide Top Djembe Drum - 50cm
Combine powerful hand percussion with the protective symbolism of the Hamsa through this 50cm Hamsa Wide Top Djembe Drum. Its enlarged playing surface supports deeper bass notes, clear open tones and expressive rhythmic accents, giving the drum a strong presence in performances, workshops and group music sessions.
The drumhead features an intricate Hamsa design, creating a distinctive focal point whether the instrument is being played or displayed. Also known as the Hand of Fatima or Hand of Miriam, the Hamsa is widely associated with protection, blessing and the deflection of negative energy.
- Instrument: Large wide-top djembe
- Sound: Deep, resonant and expressive
- Height: Approximately 50cm
- Head diameter: Approximately 22cm
- Weight: Approximately 2kg
- Design: Hamsa hand artwork on the drumhead
Why This Hamsa Djembe Stands Out
The wide-top shape provides a generous surface for positioning different strikes, while the larger shell supports fuller resonance than a compact djembe. This combination gives the player room to move between grounding bass rhythms, open tones and sharper accents.
The Hamsa artwork gives the drum an additional symbolic and decorative character, making it particularly suited to spiritual interiors, creative studios and collections that combine music with meaningful imagery.

More about this product
Djembes produce contrasting sounds according to the placement and strength of each strike. Playing towards the centre creates deeper bass notes, while strikes closer to the edge produce clearer open tones and sharper rhythmic accents.
The Hamsa symbol appears across several Middle Eastern and North African cultural traditions. Its open-hand form is commonly connected with protection, good fortune and blessing, adding another layer of meaning to the drumhead design.
