Joel and Heidi of Matica build d'jembes and other wooden drums starting with ecologically-harvested logs. They carve drums by hand using a chisel and do orginal and custom designs. Matica also sells eco slat-style djun djuns and oil drum djun djuns.
DRUM REPAIR is also available. Drum Doctor Joel Melendez. Highly regarded for fixing d'jembes and other skin drums. A complete overhaul or a just tuning- whatever your drum needs
"Dear Heidi, The rest of the first grade team would like to express our gratitude to you for coming to Sanchez school and teaching our students math through movement. Our students were highly interested in the concepts you taught them. As teachers, we are excited to share your ideas in the future with our classes. We personally would never have thought about dancing with half of our bodies. It was so much fun to have you be a part of our classroom for the three days you were with us. Our students seemed so much more calm the days you were here as well, which really shows that exercise in the early morning does impact academic performance. Thank you! We hope to see you again in the future! Sincerely, Kaitlin Delipman, Nilda Medina, Maria Colon, and Kathleen Colter !st grade team and Sanchez School, Hartford, CT
