One of the best demos on how to replace the skin on a rope tuned djembe head. A little advice for the do it yourselfers, remember that this Mr. Wimberly is no wimp, he is big and strong. So, most of you may have to get some pulling bar tool to do the job. If you too look like a football player then you will be ok. This is a clear and concise presentation by Mr. Wimberly professionally shot. Thank you Mr. Wimberly.

I've never thanked anyone for their tutorials (shame on me), but this time i just have to. This was SO perfect for my first attempt to repair my jembé! And although I had I slightly too small piece of skin I finally raged to get the job done. - But also: The way you're 'performing' this is so sweet! Thank you for the great teaching as well as for your kind heart!

It would be helpful if you explain the starting knot that is suddenly in the rope at

Nice video Michael. I agree with the comment below. You don't have to take out all the vertical rope to take the old head off. Leave most in and save yourself about 2 hours of work. I would also trim the head closer to the rim so it's more comfortable to play. You can use rope around the head to flatten the excess skin after trimming. Thank you for creating this resource!

Great video! I've watched 3 videos by different people showing the re-skinning process. Each one has different tricks and methods. Definitely learned a lot from you Mike! Thanks!

Very nice and concise video. Its the cleanest repair area I've ever seen as well. Did notice that you didn't mention that you need to pull out the folds of skin along the top rim. I did see that when the scene switched the folds were out.

Wonderful I am happy to see your video, I can now repair my drum myself instead of finding a repair shop. Purchased a large sheet of goatskin and now

for those who buy nautral skins its important to center the spine of the goat skin (the dark patch that runs along the entire skin) within the lower ring to even the tonal range of the drum i usually tie a skin around the ring using dental floss to ensure the skin fits over the ring evenly

Thank you! I just found a beautiful 10" djembe at a thrift store, it had apparently been in a fire, the head was badly burned through but the hoops were mysteriously OK! I watched this video, promptly unwrapped it, put the drum in the tub and gave it a scrubbing, I can't wait to get a new head for it and PLAY IT! Thank you for the clear demonstration, I was nervous but now I'm psyched!

Very nicely paced, clear demo. Thank you for posting it. (I found an awesome djembe that had a split head, but otherwise no damage, at a thrift store & I feel pretty confident that I can replace the skin now ~ although mine isn't strung but has adjustable screws/hooks. I hope this will make it less time consuming and require less muscle power than dealing with all that rope.)
