Ever wonder how those djembe straps work? We've created this step-by-step guide for you, complete with photos, to help you put a handy djembe strap on your drum! First we show you how to put on a shoulder strap, then a waist strap.



SHOULDER STRAP
STEP ONE:
Copyright © African Rhythm Traders. All photos were taken by and are
property of African Rhythm Traders and cannot be reprinted or used.
STEP 1: Pull the strap evenly through about three verticals, or better yet, make a handle and loop your strap through that. Make sure you got an even amount of strap on both ends.

STEP TWO:
Copyright © African Rhythm Traders. All photos were taken by and are
property of African Rhythm Traders and cannot be reprinted or used.
STEP 2: Make a knot at the end of the strap

STEP THREE:
Copyright © African Rhythm Traders. All photos were taken by and are
property of African Rhythm Traders and cannot be reprinted or used.
STEP 3: With your left hand, grab strap half-way, and drop the knot down and under the bottom of the drum.

STEP FOUR:
Copyright © African Rhythm Traders. All photos were taken by and are
property of African Rhythm Traders and cannot be reprinted or used.
STEP 4: Lift with both arms, and put strap on your shoulders to hold drum above ground.

STEP FIVE:
Copyright © African Rhythm Traders. All photos were taken by and are
property of African Rhythm Traders and cannot be reprinted or used.
STEP 5: Cross one strap over the other to form a harness style, "kris-kross" weave.

STEP SIX:
Copyright © African Rhythm Traders. All photos were taken by and are
property of African Rhythm Traders and cannot be reprinted or used.
STEP 6: Pull over your head to set strap firmly on your shoulders.

STEP SEVEN:
Copyright © African Rhythm Traders. All photos were taken by and are
property of African Rhythm Traders and cannot be reprinted or used.
STEP 7: The strap should look like this on your back, and your Djembe should sit steady between your legs while you stand.

STEP EIGHT:
Copyright © African Rhythm Traders. All photos were taken by and are
property of African Rhythm Traders and cannot be reprinted or used.
STEP 8: When you're all done, just wrap strap around the base of the drum like this. It's now sized just for you, and ready whenever you need it!

WAIST STRAP
STEP ONE:
Copyright © African Rhythm Traders. All photos were taken by and are
property of African Rhythm Traders and cannot be reprinted or used.
STEP 1: Connect the hardware on the strap to your drum on two verticals, about 8 vertical rows away from one another.

STEP TWO:
Copyright © African Rhythm Traders. All photos were taken by and are
property of African Rhythm Traders and cannot be reprinted or used.
STEP 2: Clip the buckle on your waist and adjust to size.

STEP THREE:

property of African Rhythm Traders and cannot be reprinted or used.
STEP 3: Your ready to play your djembe!
