Meinl Percussion Travel Series Rope Tuned Djembe with Goat Skin Head Pharoah's Script Finish 8"

The Meinl travel series rope tuned Djembes are great drums For professionals as well as those who just want to enjoy an afternoon playing at home or with a drum circle. These patented Djembes are ultra lightweight (even 20% lighter than our fiberglass djembes) which makes them easy to carry. The combination of a synthetic head and shell produces sharp slaps along with deep bass tones and makes them the perfect drum for outdoor use Since they are unaffected by changes in weather.

• TRAVEL-FRIENDLY TRADITIONAL DJEMBE: the Travel Series Djembe puts up with outdoor elements like dirt, sand, moisture, and sun; plus, it's easy to clean and lightweight while featuring traditional West African style tuning ropes for a classic look
• WHY IT MATTERS: you can play more outdoor settings like drum circles without hassle since the djembe requires little to no maintenance; the Travel Djembe is always ready to go from beaches to parks to open mic night
• HOW IT WORKS: the shell is 100% all-weather synthetic material, so it won't expand or contract with changes in weather which can affect tuning and longevity; this material also resists dents/scratches and cuts down weight
• ONE TAKEAWAY: this drum has a natural goat skin rawhide head for warm tone; strike the center of the head with your palm for bass and near the rim with the length of your fingers for high-pitched slaps
• 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: shell measures 8" wide x 16" tall and weighs about 2.7 lbs; head measures 8" with a 6" playing area (head is slightly larger than the playing area because it wraps around and down the rim)
