Rhythm House Drums Walnut Ashsiko is made from hand selected, black walnut. Each Walnut Ashiko is unique and hand-crafted, while still conforming to our standards. Walnut wood gives an excellent tone and is a very sturdy hardwood. We don't use a lathe and shape the bearing edge and bottom groove by hand. We find this truly makes each drum one of a kind and adds our personal touch. Each ashiko is numbered on the inside of the shell and signed by the carver with a wood burning pen.
These drums are excellent in both craftsmanship and acoustics. Professional quality sound with deep bass, cracking slaps, and super nice tones. We chose this specific size for our standard shell because we find it gives the best overall performance.
We try to keep a few in stock, but because we build everything here custom and by hand, these ashikos can take up to 3 weeks to complete if we are out of stock.
Our vision at Rhythm House Drums is to provide a gateway into a community that has inspired us to be who we are. We believe that information and knowledge should be shared so that we can grow as a society. Of course our specialty is hand drums, particularly those from West Africa such as the djembe, which are the very ones that awakened us to the beauty of drumming. We build and import top quality hand drums, from dununs to djembes to ashikos and even native american styled powwow drums. Each drum is built by hand, wether imported or built in house, and is carefully treated as well as respected while being constructed. Rhythm House Drums offers a lot of custom options for your hand drum.
