Say it with your hands.

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.

I use the 24"x12" Remo Djembe in my church's youth band, and i just have to say it sounds great!! I had played one at a Guitar Center i visited and decided I had to get one, and as soon as i recieved it in the mail i was in love!! It has a nice high sound along with a very deep bass sound when hit in the middle. Although there is some ring to it, it's not enough to make it sound bad. This djembe sounds great when played along with acoustic guitars also. A great deal!!

Don't Buy a Remo for Djembe Class

Reviewer's Play Style: West African,

Students Beware! My 12" Remo travels easily, likes rain and is generally tough as nails, but it doesn't mix with a group of carved and strung djembes. If you are a beginning student of West African rhythm as I was when I bought my Remo, you would be better off with an instrument sounds like the drums you will be trying to imitate. The Remo sound is quite different, whether the "ring" is controlled or not. The head is also less sensitive than goat skin, which makes you work harder and leads to less control. So, students beware. Remo djembes are a good value and a lot of fun, but if you are learning djembe, choose a more traditional instrument.

this unit is solid. It will break the floor b/f it breaks. It is heavy duty traveling djembe. Great sound and projection. It is HEAVY though, not for kiddos to play w/. But can't be beat on durability and construction and sound. love it!

I first played one years ago when my friend purchased one. I don't know what I waited for, putting off owning one for myself. The lows are deep and rich as the slaps are crisp and punchy. My only complaint is the ring that sustains after each strike, yet it's not anything that you can't muffle out. I would suggest this drum to any beginner to expert player.

Solid drum

I bought this to have a hand drum for acoustic performances w/ my band and to bring to drum circles. I love that it can be tuned with a standard drum key and the synthetic head and "Acousticon" shell allow it to perform well regardless of changes in weather and humidity. The 12" x 24" has a great range, and the multi-mask design really stands out at a drum circle. My only complaint is the slight ringing when playing low bass notes, but as described earlier it can easily be muffled. Overall it doesn't quite sound (or look) like a traditional djembe, but that is not necessarily bad. It is still a great drum, and the synthetic head and "Acousticon" shell make it strong enough to throw around without worrying. I would strongly recommend this.
