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 Headliner 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 goat skin rawhide head; this head produces a classic warm, yet clear tone while being remarkably durable
- OF NOTE: the djembe comes tuned and ready to play right out of the box; the West African Mali Weave rope tuning system holds a long-lasting pitch, and we pre-stretch the ropes so it sounds great right away (comes with tuning instructions)
- 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)
