Meinl 10″ Travel Series African Djembe (Goat Head)

Meinl 10″ Travel Series African Djembe (Goat Head) is a lightweight, compact hand drum that delivers traditional tone in a portable design. Whether you’re jamming in a drum circle, teaching a music class, or performing outside, this djembe offers natural sound and easy handling.

Materials and Build Quality

The drum features a synthetic shell that’s light, strong, and weather-resistant. It won’t crack, warp, or absorb moisture—making it ideal for travel, outdoor use, or long sessions on the move. The exterior has a wood-like finish that blends modern durability with a traditional look.

The 10″ head is made from hand-selected goatskin, providing a warm, organic tone with great response. From deep bass to crisp slaps, the drum delivers clear, balanced sound across the full playing range.

The rope tuning system uses pre-stretched nylon with 18 vertical runners. This design offers reliable tension, traditional styling, and easy tuning without the need for tools.

Performance and Use Case

Perfect for young drummers, educators, traveling musicians, and drum circle leaders, this 10″ djembe is easy to carry but still packs a punch. The goatskin head gives it authentic tone, while the shell keeps it light and rugged. It’s also a great option for kids or anyone looking for a full-featured djembe in a smaller size.
