Features
Lightweight travel design
The synthetic shell keeps overall weight low, making the djembe easy to carry between home, lessons and sessions. It is ideal for travelling musicians, workshop leaders and students who need a drum that is simple to transport without sacrificing sound. The compact feel encourages longer playing with less fatigue, while still providing a solid, resonant response.
All weather materials
A synthetic head and durable shell offer consistent tuning and tone in British weather, from warm classrooms to cooler outdoor events. Unlike traditional skins, the head resists changes in humidity and temperature, so the djembe stays playable and reliable throughout the year with minimal adjustment or maintenance.
Reliable rope tuning
The rope tuned system uses strong, pre stretched cord for stable tension across the head. It gives clear, cutting slaps and a rounded bass, and allows fine control when you want to refresh the feel. The setup is tool free, so you can make small tweaks by hand and then get straight back to playing.
Versatile 12 inch voice
The 12 inch playing surface strikes a balance between comfort and projection. It is large enough for expressive dynamics in ensembles, yet manageable for focused practice. From warm lows to articulate highs, it covers a wide range of tones that work for beginners learning technique and for more experienced players shaping grooves.
