OUR BASSIEST DJEMBE: its heavy low-end bass can be felt across a room; the Meinl Jumbo Djembe creates serious boom, way more than even our own traditional djembes, but without overstepping volume
WHY IT MATTERS: deep, rhythmic bass moves people and music more than just about anything else; now you can bring that feeling to acoustic gigs and drum circles while staying in the range of volume djembes are designed for
DRIVING THE SOUND: the synthetic head is built into an extra-thick hoop that lets low tones develop into super deep, resonant bass; the large synthetic body projects bass and high notes with a classic djembe sound
ZOOM IN: steel tension rods make it easy to tune or change the head; includes tuning key to quickly tighten or loosen the rods
OF NOTE: the 100% synthetic all-weather body and head are perfect for traveling and playing outdoors; this lightweight material isn't temperamental with weather and is easy to carry around
BY THE NUMBERS: measures 12" W x 24" H and weighs 9.4 lbs; the head measures 12" across
THE BOTTOM LINE: the Jumbo Djembe brings extra-deep bass to drum circles (indoors and outside), acoustic shows, or recording; it's great for all skill levels and requires little to no maintenance
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
Jumbo Djembes are Meinl’s bassiest sounding djembes. They’re made with a 100% all-weather synthetic head and body. The head is built into an extra-thick hoop that lets bass resonance develop (this gives you more “boom”). Our synthetic body material cuts down weight and is low hassle because it doesn’t react to changes in weather like wood djembes can. Includes tuning key to quickly adjust the drum head pitch. Available in 12” x 24” and 14” x 26” sizes. Perfect for drum circles, acoustic gigs, recording, and jamming outside. We offer a variety of head types (other head versions sold separately). White synthetic: high pitch open tone. Beige synthetic: low pitch muffled tone. Designer synthetic: low pitch muffled tone. The 14” beige and designer heads come with an adhesive muffling device on the underside. This djembe measures 12" W x 24" H and weighs 9.4 lbs; the head measures 12" across. Perfect for all skill levels.
