Product Description

The Remo Djembe is key-tuned and fitted with a Skyn Deep head. These hand drums produce a satisfying range of sounds from high slaps to deep bass tones. The durable, lightweight Acousticon shell delivers excellent projection and is unaffected by weather conditions. A heavy-duty rubber bottom protects the shell from ground impact. The wide selection of cotton print fabric finishes provide great visuals. Originally from West Africa, the djembe drum has spread around the world to become the hallmark instrument of the world-beat movement. Since at least 500 A.D., the djembe has been used in healing ceremonies, rites of passage, ancestor worship, warrior rituals, and social dancing. Find out how much your hands can say with this traditional drum. Remo's revolutionary materials provide great sound, durability, and looks.

5.0 out of 5 stars love at first tap, August 3, 2004

REMO is a great brand and very reliable-
this Djembe in particular I've owned for quite a few years; it's sturdy and it's gone through many a catastrophe (road trips, drum circles, gigs, friends and kids trying to hit a beat on it)... it's still in great condition
Also, I really enjoy the sound of the 12 inch. It's in a very nice medium range, but you can still get amazing bass and tenor tones.
As far as portability, it's not THAT heavy but for traveling you might be better off getting a djembe carrying case (fits on like a back pack, I'm pretty sure REMO makes them specifically for their djembesj)...
And it's aesthetically pleasing- the variation of tribal designs are connotative of their African derivative and culture.
All in all, these djembes (at any size) are a great buy for percussionists playing at any level...
You'll know it's worth it the very first time you play it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than my Traditional ever was!, May 31, 2008

I loved my traditional djembe, but I hated carrying and transporting it, and tuning it was more than a workout, especially when I wanted to play, not tune. And then there is replacing a head, a pain-staking process.

Now this thing sounds at least as good, weighs a third of the traditional, and I've yet to have to replace a head, no matter how tight I like it stretched. I stretch it in minutes with a key, and If I had to replace a head, it would take minutes, not days.
