About this item

TRAVEL-FRIENDLY TRADITIONAL DJEMBE: the Travel Series Djembe puts up with outdoor elements like dirt, sand, moisture, and sun; plus, it's easy to clean and lightweight while featuring traditional West African style tuning ropes for a classic look
WHY IT MATTERS: you can play more outdoor settings like drum circles without hassle since the djembe requires little to no maintenance; the Travel Djembe is always ready to go from beaches to parks to open mic night
HOW IT WORKS: the shell and head are 100% all-weather synthetic material, so they won't expand or contract with changes in weather which can affect tuning and longevity; this material also resists dents/scratches and cuts down weight
ONE TAKEAWAY: it's easy to get thumping bass and crisp slap tones that carry across distance; strike the center of the head with your palm for bass and near the rim with the length of your fingers for high-pitched slaps
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: shell measures 12" wide x 24" tall and weighs about 5.9 lbs; head measures 12" with a 10" playing area (head is slightly larger than the playing area because it wraps around and down the rim)
THE BOTTOM LINE: have fun playing the Travel Series Djembe anywhere, and don't worry wondering if it'll hold up; it's made for all skill levels and comes ready to play right out of the box
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

The Meinl Rope Tuned Travel Series Djembes are great drums for professionals as well as those who just want to enjoy an afternoon playing at home or with a drum circle. These patented djembes are ultra-lightweight (even 20% lighter than our fiberglass djembes) which makes them easy to carry. The combination of a synthetic head and shell produces sharp slaps along with deep bass tones and makes them the perfect drum for outdoor use since they are unaffected by changes in weather.

What a great drum to play around the campfire drum-circles with friends. I got this one because I would not have to worry as much about dew overnight when playing it in the evenings.

First of all, she’s a beauty! The color is gorgeous and vibrant. The patent is very African.I love that it is synthetic and the head is also synthetic. Sounds very bright loud clear center base. Deep tone is great. Slaps are nice and loud! It’s a fun Jimbay to play. I would highly recommend it.
