The plastic zipper broke after only 4 uses. I’d rather pay a little extra for something that lasts.

I'm pleased with this bag/carrier. The zipper opens either end and is made so the zipper could have a lock attached. Handles are reinforced with web along with where handle is attached to bag. Also a draw sting around the waist part of drum. Good padding. I love that the inside is made from a cotton wheat bag which adds character of the bag

I brought this bag to protect my drum. It is well made and a good way to recycle materials. It compliments my African drum...

I received the djembe bag, it fits really snug, as in, it almost doesn't go on completely. A few inches of more room would be better, but it will probably stretch a little, over time. The print is more yellow/black, but in the photo it was green and red. Would've liked the brighter colors, but that's okay. It protects the drum and has nice carrying handles.

Perfect fit for my jembe drum. The bright colors are awesome. Lightweight bag perfect and I always know it is my drum by the bright bag. Thanks!

I have an oddly sized handmade drum from Senegal. The 10 inch bag is too small, and this bag is too big. I would rather air on the side of being too big then too small. I actually need a shorter bag with a little bit wider head, , About 11 inches. This will work for now. This is the second bag I have purchased from Africa hardwood project and I like the fact that the money goes to help support those in need so it will not be returned. He could use a little more padding. After measuring the bag because it seemed too big, they actually sent me a large bag which fits my 14 inch head djembe. It was not the item that I needed but I will not return it. Instead, I will look for a smaller bag but I am not very happy that I got the wrong bag so I would advise those Who are looking for a specific size for their djembe to make sure it is the correct bag when you receive it.

This does not look as "authentic" as the picture looks. It's a low-quality (polyester?) printed fabric. Ok for a small ashiko drum.
