Brand: Meinl
Color: Large
Categories: Musical Instruments, Drums & Percussion, Folk & World Hand Drums, Djembes


For players of any skill level — you don't have to be a trained musician to play the Meinl Headliner Series djembe — this drum can be enjoyed for theraputic purposes, playing jam sessions, participating in drum circles or performing with a band
Carved from one solid piece of plantation grown mahogany — the Meinl Headliner Series djembe is carved from solid mahogany that projects a rich tone with booming low notes and plenty of sustain — this shell stands 24" tall from base to drum head (large)
Hand-selected traditional rawhide head (12" diameter) — goatskin heads produce classic djembe sounds with a warm, yet cutting tone while being remarkably durable — play toward the center for a boomy bass sound and slap the edges for sharp, popping accents
Mali weave rope tuning system — 20 nylon rope runners (5 mm thickness) securely fasten the head to the shell for a long-lasting and proper tuning with a classic look — comes ready to play and fully tuned right out of the box so you can play right away
Hand carved motif (Congo finish) — the hand carved mahogany shell is finished with an ancient ornamental Congo motif around the bottom — the hand made design means no two djembes are exactly alike, making each drum one-of-a-kind
