Overview
A classroom, a living room or an outdoor drum circle is where the Festival djembe works, thanks to a lightweight shell made from recycled material. A replaceable Fliptop drumhead is already tuned at the factory.
Facilitators and educators recommend it because the synthetic head sidesteps weather and tuning worries. Weight and size suit groups of players. The tone is quite different from a drum with a rawhide head.
Who it's for
Aimed at schools, groups and families that want a djembe able to handle weather and rough handling without retuning. Players seeking traditional rawhide response may be disappointed.
Pros and cons
- No tuning needed
- Weather resistant head
- Bass, slap and open tones
- Not a rawhide head
- Not for traditional tone purists
- Warranty not stated
Performance notes
The synthetic Fliptop head is pre-tuned and stable in changing weather, so pitch does not drift. The engineered wood shell is lightweight and carries bass, slap and open tones cleanly.
