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.
