  • Find your rhythm!

    Threeworlds drums are made to be played! They are fully tuneable, have an extremely tough skin, and well shaped body to provide sounds that sing! We play drums so we know what is good and what isn't. We stand behind every drum we sell.

    The skins we use are unique to Threeworlds' djembes. Named EvoSkin heads, they are a synthetic (and vegan) alternative to animal hides. For everyday use, we think they're much better suited to the majority as they are incredibly low maintenance; They rarely need tuning, they are weather proof – meaning they don't lose tension or crack with humidity or dry weather spells, and they can even be played in the rain no problem! They are also easy to travel with in regards to customs and flying with your drum; You can take it absolutely anywhere you go. They also have a consistently clear tonality with warm basses and bright tones. Slaps will cut through with their lively overtones. Overall, we believe our EvoSkin heads will meet all your needs for a practical and flavourful djembe drum.

    • EvoSkin, by Threeworlds
    • Water proof
    • Unaffected by temperature
    • Super long life
    • Easy to tune and maintain!
    • And sound totally awesome!

    Please note as all these drums are hand carved, no two shells or designs are the same. Every drum is unique and one of a kind :)

    • Light Carbon Fibre

      Pro spinners around the world are changing to carbon fibre for its many unique properties including high stiffness, strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance. It's lighter than standard aluminium and that's a good thing. A lighter staff body allows for more control where the weight sits. Directing more weight towards the ends gives a more proportioned weight distribution and an easier balancing experience.

    • Compact for Travel

      Like all Fusion Staffs, they setup in seconds by simply twisting the handle. The key to the system is the highly engineered patented locking mechanism that's simple to use and provides superior strength with no wobble or rattle – That's super important for a balanced flow.

      The kit is super compact – packing down to about one-third its size when disassembled. With the solidly machined connector, it has no moving parts and collapses down instantly.

      Interchangable

    • Weight Calculator

      To calculate the weight of your staff, add together the weight of 1 handle and 2 ends from the staff length of your choice.

      1 x Fusion 16 Handle = 58grams
      1 x Fusion 16 Fire End:
      1200mm = 55gm
      1300mm = 66gm
      1400mm = 77gm

      1500mm = 88gm
      1600mm = 99gm

      e.g. To calculate the weight of a Fusion 16 1400mm staff: 58 + 77 + 77 = 212grams
