This djembe is carved from one solid piece of plantation grown Mahogany wood and is hand carved and painted with an African Congo motif. The sound quality of Headliner djembes from Meinl is unmatched in this price range. Hand selected goat heads combined with the traditional Mali Weave rope tuning system come together to deliver cutting, high pitched slaps and deep, resonant bass tones. These drums sing and project with very little work, making them ideal for beginners and recreational players. Take them outside for jam sessions, play live with a group, or record with them in the studio! The performance quality of Meinl Headliner djembes makes them a standard piece for any musical setting.
LEARN TO PLAY IN MINUTES: strike the center with your whole hand for deep, resonant bass and near the rim with your fingers for high-pitched slap tones; this djembe is a perfect instrument for getting the confidence to play percussion with no experience
WHY IT MATTERS: a lot of fun musical adventures don’t require time-consuming practice on a drum set; with the Meinl Headliner Djembe, you can play in drum circles, acoustic shows with bands, jam with friends and family, or teach students about rhythm
ZOOM IN: the shell is hand made out of a single piece of solid mahogany from certified managed forests (NOT glued together wood pieces); the exterior is beautifully hand carved and looks great for decoration in your home or studio
DRIVING THE SOUND: you can get a lot of different sounds from its traditional goat skin rawhide head; this head produces a classic warm, yet clear tone while being remarkably durable
OF NOTE: the djembe comes tuned and ready to play right out of the box; the West African Mali Weave rope tuning system holds a long-lasting pitch, and we pre-stretch the ropes so it sounds great right away (comes with tuning instructions)
BY THE NUMBERS: mahogany shell measures 10″ wide x 20″ tall and weighs about 9.5 lbs; goat skin head measures 10″ with an 8″ playing area (head is slightly larger than the playing area because it wraps around and down the rim)
THE BOTTOM LINE: this is your chance to grab a handmade, all-purpose, sturdy djembe that easily produces a wide range of sound indoors or outside; it’s not intimidating to play—even if you’re a beginner—and looks beautiful on display
THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you’re delivered the absolute finest quality
