Well what can I say about Wooden Roots? The djembes made are absolutely first class and are stunning. Marcus and Gemma also provide a lovely space for drumming lessons/workshops. Marcus has always been a great help and very knowledgeable about basically anything to do with djembes.The Wooden Roots team are always friendly, helpful, and happy to help and enjoy a laugh too. Overall – Excellent.

I ordered a ring and some rope from Wooden Roots for a djembe build and I was amazed by the level of quality. Not only were the products themselves excellent, but Marcus was simply outstanding! He went out of his way to ensure I was getting exactly what I needed, displaying phenomenal care for his customers and knowledge of the products he sells. Totally recommended!

I live in Vancouver WA and was made aware of wooden roots via the web. Checked the site. Saw some beautiful drums. Contacted Marcus. Told him the drums I was interested in. He demoed them via email. I chose the ONE. It’s the most incredible drum and it replicates the sound I heard in my head that I wanted to hear. The bag was amazing,too. Great customer service and impeccable product. All blessings to Marcus and the artists creating these drums!

The Squirrels (aged 4-6) at 5th Woodbridge Sea Scouts really enjoyed their Little Roots session at Wooden Roots. Kayleen was a calm, gentle presence perfect for this age group. The Squirrels absolutely loved playing (and sitting on!) the drums and learning the Swahili words that Kayleen taught them through her story. It was a nice touch to introduce the world map and show the children the distance Kayleen travelled from Kenya to the UK. Thank you Wooden Roots!

Gemma and Marcus are amazing they really can’t help you enough to ensure the purchase is right for you. No pressure and lots of patience, going through the smallest details to guide you with their vast knowledge. I was totally confused initially as there is so much available on the market and also a lot of rubbish around, so I was concerned about making the right choices . Together they methodical helped me to choose the right drum for me . It arrived quickly even with alterations that I had requested and I absolutely love it 😍. It is created from great top quality materials and the workmanship is of a really highly standard. It sounds amazing even to me, a newbie to drumming. They have been helpful in connecting me to people in my area also. ⭐️ I would highly recommend wooden roots to anyone looking to purchase a drum 😃
