Actually, the guy I take lessons from included a djembe in his set-up with congas and bongos. He actually wore the djembe and used it primarly for two things, its deep base tones and high slaps. Once he dropped the djembe and added a bass drum. I think it really depends on what sounds you are looking for and what setting you are playing in. Unless you are concerned about having your hands slapped by conga police, I would say go for it.
