Meinl Percussion Travel Djembe Hand Drum - Synthetic Shell & Head - African Mali Weave Rope Tuning - Not Made in China - 2 Year Warranty (PADJ8-L-F) - Perfect for Drum Circles, Music Therapy, and Outdoor Performances

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 and head are 100% all-weather synthetic material, so they 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 it's easy to get thumping bass and crisp slap tones that carry across distance; 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 12" wide x 24" tall and weighs about 5.9 lbs; head measures 12" with a 10" playing area (head is slightly larger than the playing area because it wraps around and down the rim)

THE BOTTOM LINE have fun playing the Travel Series Djembe anywhere, and don't worry wondering if it'll hold up; it's made for all skill levels and comes ready to play right out of the box
