Meinl 12″ Jumbo Series Mechanical Tuned Djembe (Synthetic Head)

Meinl 12″ Jumbo Series Mechanical Tuned Djembe (Synthetic Head) is a durable, full-bodied hand drum made for players who need great sound, easy tuning, and reliability in any setting. With its weather-resistant build and powerful projection, this djembe is perfect for outdoor gigs, classrooms, and group drumming.

Materials and Build Quality

The shell is made from synthetic material, keeping the drum lightweight yet strong. It won’t crack, warp, or absorb moisture, making it ideal for outdoor play and travel. The deep bowl-shaped shell enhances low-end response while keeping the drum easy to carry.

The 12″ synthetic head delivers warm bass tones, crisp slaps, and excellent tuning stability—even in changing weather conditions. Meinl’s mechanical tuning system uses standard tuning bolts and lugs, allowing you to adjust the tension with a tuning wrench (included). This gives you full control over your sound and makes maintenance quick and simple.

This djembe is perfect for drum circles, workshops, school programs, and live performances. It produces a bold, clear tone with plenty of volume. The synthetic construction means it’s ready for use in any environment—indoors or out—without worrying about damage or detuning.
