Description
Meinl 8″ Travel Series African Djembe (Synthetic Head) is a compact, lightweight drum made for players who want portability without sacrificing sound. Designed for travel, group play, and educational use, this djembe delivers sharp, focused tone in a rugged, weather-resistant build.
Materials and Build Quality
The shell is crafted from durable synthetic material with a natural wood-style finish. It’s extremely lightweight and built to handle tough environments. Resistant to moisture, cracking, and temperature changes, this djembe is perfect for indoor or outdoor use.
The 8″ synthetic head is pre-tuned and built to perform consistently in all climates. It produces cutting slaps, crisp open tones, and a surprisingly full low-end for its size. Unlike natural skin, this head won’t stretch or detune with humidity or travel.
The drum uses Meinl’s traditional rope tuning system with 18 vertical runners made from strong pre-stretched nylon. It holds tension well and lets players make adjustments by hand—no tools required.
Performance and Use Case
Small in size but bold in voice, this djembe is ideal for kids, beginners, and teachers. It’s great for classroom rhythm work, music therapy, small drum circles, and portable practice. The synthetic build keeps it reliable and easy to maintain wherever you play.
