Whether you’re performing live, leading a drum circle, or rehearsing outdoors, this djembe is designed to deliver bold tone and long-lasting performance in any environment.

Materials and Build Quality

The shell is made from lightweight synthetic material that’s strong, weather-resistant, and easy to transport. It won’t crack or warp like wood, making it ideal for use in varied conditions—from outdoor festivals to classroom settings.

The 14″ drumhead is made from a premium synthetic material that replicates the feel and response of natural skin while offering consistent tuning and resistance to humidity and temperature changes. The drum uses Meinl’s mechanical tuning system, which features standard lugs and tuning bolts—allowing players to easily adjust head tension using a wrench (included).

It’s ideal for live shows, drum circles, schools, and community music programs.
