Meinl Djembe Hand Drum Circle Instrument with Bag, Carved Mahogany, African Mali Weave Rope Tuning

About this item

• LEARN TO PLAY IN MINUTES: strike the center with your whole hand for deep, resonant bass and near the rim with your fingers for high-pitched slap tones; this djembe is a perfect instrument for getting the confidence to play percussion with no experience
• WHY IT MATTERS: a lot of fun musical adventures don't require time-consuming practice on a drum set; with the Meinl African Style Djembe, you can play in drum circles, acoustic shows with bands, jam with friends and family, or teach students about rhythm
• ZOOM IN: the shell is hand made out of a single piece of solid mahogany from certified managed forests (NOT glued together wood pieces); the exterior is beautifully hand carved and looks great for decoration in your home or studio
• DRIVING THE SOUND: you can get a lot of different sounds from its traditional, pre-tuned goat skin rawhide head; this head produces a classic warm, yet clear tone while being remarkably durable, and comes ready to play right out of the box
• INCLUDES BAG: comes with our Professional Djembe Bag to make travel easy; it's made with super-rugged 600D polyester that has padded walls, reinforced strap and handles, plus exterior storage for accessories
• BY THE NUMBERS: mahogany shell measures 10" wide x 20" tall and weighs about 9.5 lbs; goat skin head measures 10" with an 8" playing area (head is slightly larger than the playing area because it wraps around and down the rim)
• THE BOTTOM LINE: this is your chance to grab a handmade, all-purpose, sturdy djembe that easily produces a wide range of sound indoors or outside; it's not intimidating to play—even if you're a beginner—and looks beautiful on display
• THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality
