Drums & Drum Repair

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



They [Heidi and Joel] are fabulous! They manage to keep 80 second grade girls engaged during their entire program. They bring the girls in a journey and hold their attention the entire time.
