Description
The Percussion Plus 9in Ghanaian Djembe is a compact, authentic hand drum designed for players who want real djembe tone in a manageable size. It is ideal for younger learners, peripatetic teachers, community groups and any drummer who needs a portable instrument for workshops and small ensembles. The 9 inch head offers a comfortable playing surface that encourages good hand position and technique, delivering clear slaps, singing open tones and a surprisingly full bass. It sits neatly between mini models and full performance sizes, making it a versatile choice for classroom sets, drum circles and world music studies, as well as a reliable practice companion at home.
Hand crafted in Ghana using traditional methods, this djembe features a solid wooden shell and a natural goatskin head for an expressive, organic sound. A robust rope tuning system holds tension securely and makes fine adjustments straightforward as the skin settles. The bearing edge is smoothly finished for comfortable extended playing, while the shell’s internal shape promotes projection and focus. Compared with basic entry level drums, this instrument offers a richer tonal palette, stronger dynamics and a more responsive feel under the hands, rewarding developing technique with greater nuance and musicality.
For UK tuition and school use, the PP6644 is supplied ready to play and is durable enough for regular classroom handling. Its size suits Key Stage learners and mixed ability groups, and it blends well with larger djembes for ensemble work. Teachers will appreciate the dependable tuning stability and the easy maintenance of a traditional rope and skin set up, which supports proper djembe teaching methods and repertoire. Whether used for curriculum world music, extra curricular clubs or community workshops, it provides excellent value, giving students a genuine djembe experience that encourages confident rhythm work, ensemble listening and creative performance.
