Description
Meinl 12″ Travel Series African Djembe (Goat Head) is a lightweight, portable drum that delivers rich, natural tone with the look and feel of traditional African design. Built for musicians who play on the move, this djembe offers big sound in a comfortable, easy-to-carry format.
Materials and Build Quality
The shell is made from durable synthetic material and finished with a wood-like texture. It’s built to withstand travel, weather, and heavy use without warping or cracking. Unlike traditional wood, this shell is resistant to moisture and temperature changes—perfect for outdoor drumming or transport between venues.
The drumhead is made from hand-selected goatskin, giving it a warm, earthy tone with great dynamic range. It responds beautifully to bass strokes, open tones, and slaps, offering the authentic sound and feel of natural skin.
Meinl’s rope tuning system includes 20 vertical runners of pre-stretched nylon, providing stable tension and easy tuning by hand—no tools required. This traditional setup ensures the drum holds its pitch well while maintaining flexibility for adjustments.
Performance and Use Case
The 12″ size strikes a perfect balance between portability and sound projection. It’s ideal for drum circles, travel, classrooms, acoustic shows, and outdoor performances. The goatskin head adds warmth and depth, making it a great fit for players who want a more organic, expressive tone.
