These “djembe djackets” are extremely well made by my man Bill Anderson at Blue Heron.  Each is hand made with different fabrics – no two are exactly alike.  The backpack design is extremely strong, with years of trial and error to get it right.  One of my students has had one of their bags since about 2005 and it’s still fine!  I have to take credit for the conceptual creation of the top pocket and credit Bill with bringing it into manifest reality.  The top pocket big enough for sticks and your Mamady books!  Below are photos of my inventory as of 12/19/20.
