Meinl 14″ Travel Series African Djembe (Goat Head)

Meinl 14″ Travel Series African Djembe (Goat Head) is a lightweight, full-size drum that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern portability. Designed for drummers on the move, this djembe delivers deep bass, cutting slaps, and a warm, responsive feel—all in a weather-resistant package.

Materials and Build Quality

This drum features a synthetic shell that’s strong, durable, and much lighter than traditional wooden djembes. The shell is finished in a natural wood look and is resistant to humidity, temperature changes, and rough handling—making it perfect for travel, festivals, and outdoor playing.

The head is made from genuine goatskin, giving the drum an earthy, warm tone with excellent dynamic response. It’s rope-tuned using strong, pre-stretched nylon with 30 vertical runners. This traditional rope system provides stable tension and allows for fine-tuning without tools.

Performance and Use Case

The 14″ head size offers deep bass and loud projection, while still being comfortable to play for long sessions. This djembe is great for drum circles, acoustic shows, community music programs, and travel musicians who need a reliable drum that sounds authentic and won’t weigh them down.
