Djembe Hand Drum Circle Instrument with Synthetic Shell and Head, Alpine Series — NOT MADE IN CHINA — Easy Tuning, 2-YEAR WARRANTY

The Alpine Series Djembe is Meinl’s most user-friendly djembe because it puts up with outdoor elements like dirt, sand, moisture, and sun. Plus, it's easy to clean, lightweight, and tunes in seconds. For most beginner and even advanced drum circle/jam session players, you need a djembe that does it all without needing maintenance—the Alpine Djembe is always ready to go from beaches to parks to open mic night. 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. 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. Includes a tuning wrench to make quick adjustments or head changes if needed—tighten the steel tension rods for a higher pitch and loosen them to drop pitch (djembe comes pre-tuned). The shell measures 12" wide x 24" tall and weighs about 8 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). Have fun playing the Alpine 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. 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.
