The Font djembe adalah jenis huruf dirancang khusus untuk irama drum Afrika dimainkan di djembes, drum bass dan lonceng. .

The same three symbols are also used for the sounds of the African bass drums - the small kenkeni, the medium size sangban and the large doundoun - and it can also be used for bells of different pitch. In order to distinguish between djembe, bass and bell notation you can either write which it is or simply put the corresponding instrument symbol at the beginning of each notation line. (See Notation page)

* When using the keyboard to write the basic drum notes you will find that there are several characters to choose from. This is just to make it possible for you to continue using your favourite (ascii) character notation. (Read more about this on the Djembe Font Notation page.)
