For drumcircles I used to bring my old CP "Conga" (From Latin Percussion, older version of Aspires, somehow). They did a good job. I only wonder if U can get single drums.
Especially when practicising Afrin rhythms (Kpanlogo and stuff), my CP conga didn´t need to hide behind the djembes the others brought along.
Hope this helps,
Peace & drum
