Tycoon Percussion Adult Djembe Stand For 9 Inch Djembe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a good design for a product which may have some use for some people. It packs flat and there are no moving parts. That's good. It is heavy which is necessary for a product expected to hold up under playing conditions.

Remo Djembe Fossil Fantasy 24x12 Inch Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'll start with the fact that I don't play drums, I just act like everyone else who loves tapping stuff with their hands to a random beat. I have played guitar for a while, so I'm not new to music. I just wanted to add some variety out here in Iraq while deployed since there are other musicians in my unit.
This drum is compact (relative to a drum set), but it has great tone. The bass has some punch to it and as you move away from the center, the tones get sharper. If you're looking to add a little beat to an acoustic guitar, this is fun and simple but over time, can get as complex as you want. Just be sure to leave some air space between the bottom of the drum and the floor. A slight cant also allows the sound not to bounce back into the drum.
I love the look of this Remo Djembe, the fossil pattern is cool and the Remo seal is nice and shiny. The attached sling is nice and sturdy but I prefer playing it sitting down.
I wouldn't know how to tune a drum, but I'm glad they made it that easy too. All in all, this was a great investment to have some fun while out here.

Schalloch Aluminum Darbuka 8 Inches Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you've ever considered wanting to learn Darbuka or are looking for a reasonably priced goblet drum with a price that might seem like a steal, this drum is exactly it. Had I known this drum was being sold at this price years ago I would've been rattling and rolling my fingers over the drum head of this wonderful instrument long ago!
I was skeptic at first that a drum that I've heard and learned so much about could go for a price like this without some kind of repercussions of it being faulty or something similar of the sort-- I was wrong! This drum is fabulous, despite the fact that there are known 'professional' darbukas out there that exist, this is still a wonderful instrument at an amazing price that won't disappoint.
It offers great range of sound with sharp, resonant 'teks' and heavy, bass-filled 'doums' and rimshots on this piece come out clear, crisp and loud.
Though I may acquire several 'upperclass' darbukas along the way, I honestly believe this drum alone is going to be a long favored item by me, as it was and always will be the reason I got into darbukas and hand drums to begin with. It's served me well, still serves me well and if there's any doubt in your mind about this drum, relinquish such thoughts because this drum will not disappoint you.Users Note: Remember to tune the head ever so often, as punishing blows with average use will hinder the drum and you'll notice it by the way it sounds. The drum will begin to sound muted, dull, a little bland but give the drum a good tightening of the heads and you're back to base one with sheer bliss of this drum's outstanding quality.
A mind-blowing purchase, really.

Kalani's Ultimate Hand Percussion: Djembe Jam Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a good DVD to help me along with learning a little about playing a djembe. In particular I was hoping for some solid basic patterns. This DVD fails on every level. As a very first rhythm, you are introduced to five separate view screens, two of which are djembe. The other 3 screens are an entirely different instrument. Bottom line is this is not a good DVD for a beginner. There's no fun . . . no spark . . . no simple instruction of 10 different rhythms to play along with to provide basic skills. Check out YouTube first. Then try to understand why this DVD has only my review?

Toca Synergy Freestyle Mechanically Tuned Djembe Abstract Red 14" Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a full-time professional musician. I'm a multi-instrumentalist playing guitar, bass, accordion, harmonium, and percussion, but my main instruments are piano and organ. This drum is just perfect for someone like me. I went with this djembe because of the lightweight, artificial body and mechanical tuning (didn't want to have to deal with the ropes). But the fact that it features an authentic goatskin head gives it fantastic tone. The lows are thunderous, and the snaps and slaps cut like crazy with no resonant overtones.
You can get so many different tones out this drum. Be sure to experiment with all the different parts of the head and different hand strikes (open palm, cupped palm, fingers, etc.) It really is like having an entire drum kit in one drum. It records great too.
Also, since I play a bunch of instruments, I'm always carrying a bunch of instruments. The fact that this size drum comes with the bag with backpack straps frees up both of my hands for more stuff.
At well under $200, you can't go wrong.

Remo 25" x 14" Tunable Djembe, Kinte Kloth Design Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this exact Remo 14" Djembe drum used from my local drum shop. The finish on mine is also the same as photo " Kinte Kloth " and that was the feature that got me to buy it, the first time I saw it. The pattern gives it a really cool West African look, as I understand it each tribe uses a different pattern and combination of colors, like how the clans in Scotland each use a different Tartan. The sound is awesome, no weird buzzing or rattles, it is " tight as a drum " ! I am still very much a beginner even after a year, proper technique really takes some work and it is very easy to think that the Djembe is a simple instrument but to master it is no joke.
Another cool thing about it is that the weather won't affect it like one made from wood and goat skin. Tuning is easy, after a while many things can cause the drum head to get loose, just add small turns on the adjusters, going from one side to the other, a little bit at a time till it sounds and feels snappy and alive. The head is made from a product that really looks and feels like real goat skin, without all the ropes to loosen and tighten all the time. In defense of the wooden/goat skin Djembes, if you have the money and can deal with the inconsistencies and tuning, if it was made by a good craftsmen, then a bigger, better sound cannot be found any where else, wood is the best sound. But for anything other than studio recording or playing professionally, the Remo Djembe is more drum than anyone should need for jamming, drum circles, home use, etc., Check one out and you will be happy ! Good Luck and Practice, Practice, Practice !!! WaterRabbit aka Joseph W., Cape Cod, MA, USA

Mini Djembe, Hand Painted 7-8" Tall X 4-5" Head Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not wanting to go down in history as the "sister who bought my kid a drum set", I opted for this little number for my nephew's third birthday gift. It was a huge hit (rivaled only by the "karoke" set). I appreciated that it was not an apparently mass produced item and he just liked "playing" it. It came quickly and when it arrived, I was pleased to see that it is just the right size for those three-year-old hands.

Hand Sewn Djembe Drum Bag Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I took a chance on this product because I liked the idea of having a handmade bag for my djembe drum rather than some boring, cloned factory thing. When I visited this page, there were some interesting images and brief descriptions, but no reviews. Also, there was no "choice" or selection button to choose a particular bag, which meant that the seller would send me the product, but the sender would choose the color / design for me. I wouldn't know what the product look like until I received it--a total surprise. Nevertheless, I went ahead with the purchase because I wanted a bag; the given samples seemed to be interesting and tasteful. Well, I received my bag today, and I am very impressed with the product (see the customer images section for a view) and the seller's quick service. I actually liked the pattern / style that was chosen for me, sort of a black and clay color, with African motif; I liked it even better than the sample ones pictured! :) The bag feels sturdy, well-made, and it seems to be the perfect travel for my instrument. It's a pleasure to show! An unusual instrument deserves an unusual bag.
NOTE: Remember, this is a handmade product, so If you order, please expect unique colors / styles, stitching, and other human elements. In my opinion, the handmade nature adds to the beauty and uniqueness of the bag.

24X12" Djembe Drum w/ Mandala Design Hand Drum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am highly satisfied with the sound and playability of this drum. It is not a large drum, but does create a large sound. I have another drum (much larger) made by the same company, and a person can definately tell that these are high quality instruments. It looks cool too! When I first got it, I thought that even if it doesn't play well, it still looks cool! But I was very pleased to find that this instrument feels and sounds wonderfull!

Djembe In Fabric Black Earth Finish Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this one because I was getting tired of having to fix the ropes on my African djembe, and I was also looking for a lighter drum with a big head. On those marks, this is a nice improvement. It is easy to tune with the Allen wrench that comes with it, and the shell is remarkably light, which makes for much easier standing while playing. The original head is also beveled, which allows for a nice hit, and the skin is quite thin. That is a mixed blessing. The thinner skin makes for a really quick jump off of it due to the lack of vibrational absorption, so the speedy drummers might like this feature. I can play faster on this one. The one really down side is that it has a bit of a ringing overtone and does not have that firmer sound that you get with an animal skin. I have compensated for this by using Moon Gel, which you put on the head and it absorbs a bit of the ringing, but it still is there. As such, I would suggest (as with all instruments) it is worth a play to see if it is your cup of tea.

Remo DI-6110-00 Djembe Stand (fits 12" or larger djembe) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This product is very helpful if you wish to play your djembe while sitting. It's sturdy, and with the rubber coating, it offers the drum a bit of protection from scratches. [It is also helpful for storage.]
The stand raises the drum off the floor, which allows the sound hole to do its job more effectively --a fact that frees the drum's uniquely versatile "voices" for best playing, slaps, tones, and most especially, bass. This stand is the perfect companion to a Remo Festival Djembe 12."

Remo Djembe Drum - Key Tuned (16 Inch, Earth Finish) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This drum has some serious depth and rich tones. The construction takes a beating and is not affected by temperature and humidity like a wooden one I just sold. Worth the cash to go with the 16" model. I also bought the Lightweight floor stand, which is the ONLY stand to get if you plan to use it outside where other stands sink into the ground.

8" Extra Small Authentic Handmade Djembe Drum - Traditional African Musical Instrument Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this "teensy" drum to tote to my drum circle group,as it looked so portable. It is great....it fits nicely into my tote bag, and plays pretty decently for a little drum of this size. This would be great for younger drummers, as well as an adult, like myself. Sure, it does not play like a large djembe,or a hand drum, but it worked well at the circle!
