LJ Percussion is a Gainesville-based company that specializes in crafting high-quality drums using raw wooden shells imported from West Africa. With a meticulous three-ring mounting system, their drums not only showcase decorative ribbon patterns but also boast enhanced strength, minimizing issues like ring distortion, warpage, and slippage. The drums are meticulously laced in traditional fashion using top-grade accessory cord, ensuring durability and stability. Each drum is carefully finished and assembled in their workshop, with unique patterns woven into the rings to accentuate the natural hair color of the goatskin used for the drumheads. Notably, LJ Percussion shaves all the heads themselves, avoiding the use of chemical hair removers. For Ashikos, they utilize deer skin without hair, providing a distinct sound. With a commitment to quality and craftsmanship, LJ Percussion offers a range of drums and accessories that cater to the needs of drum enthusiasts and professionals alike.Generated from the website
