Make one!
its cheap and the drums allways sound good. plus you can make it how ever thick you want and from any wood
(well nearly), so its all the things you want.

THERE IS A COMPANY OUT THERE WHO MAKES DJEMBE;S THAT ARE LIGHTWEIGHT AND INEXPENSIVE TO A CERTAIN POINT......AFRICAN TEMPO.......DONT KNOW IF THEY HAVE A WEBSITE BUT THEY ARE RELIABLE.

thanks for the response.

However, i need to enter a correction.... looking for a conga drum.

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,

CP'S OR LP ASPIRES ARE YOUR BEST BET.YOU CAN TRY LOOKING FOR ONE AT A DRUM DEALER NEAREST YOU.GOOD LUCK.TRY A GUITAR CENTER NEAREST YOU."QUE VIVE LA MUSICA"
