Great sounds

Great service... and what a great instrument! GO FOR IT... there may be cheaper "options"... but this is a phenomenal djembe!

really great sound

Ya son varios los detalles que tengo con la compañía de logística en entregas, con respecto al producto es excelente. Las entregas cada vez fallan más y más. Tengo otro artículo en espera de que me entregues desde ya hace 4 días que me iba a llegar…. Fudioso

Love the simplicity of tuning and replacing the head as needed (haven't needed to yet). Love that it isn't finicky with humidity or even a little drizzle. BOOMS when you're harnessing it's bass capability. It DOES sound kind of tinny in some of the higher register slaps and rolls, but this is easily remedied by draping a lighter piece of fabric overtop. I have a few scarves and shawls that serve this purpose and make it easy to dampen the tinny ring without sacrificing the richer tones Plan to enjoy this baby for many years! My only complaint would be if they stop making the replacement heads. I definitely recommend getting a metal drum stand to insert the bottom in. It's big enough to be uncomfortably cumbersome to try holding between your legs

I have been a drummer for the past 10 years, but have just recently gained an interest in hand percussion. I knew that I wanted a djembe, because of the portability and wide range of sounds they can produce. After searching the internet and reading around I found that Remo's line of djembes would best suit my needs. They are extremely durable, do not require difficult rope tuning (they are key tuned), and sound quite close to traditional djembes. Upon receiving my drum I must admit that I am very pleased. Everything I read about the drum is correct. The earth finish is very nice and has a bit of a texture to it, which I find helpful for holding the drum between my legs. I wanted to get the 14in in order to have a lot of bass, and this drum certainly isn't lacking that. It is quite big, however. The drum is very wide and fairly tall, I probably wouldn't recommend it for smaller users. I am an average sized guy, 6'00'' 150 lbs, and the drum is a good size for me. I am no expert, but the drum sounds very nice. Bass tones are rich and full, and the higher pitched sounds are produced with ease. I am very very happy with this drum, it is a blast to play, and is well worth the $200 I paid for it.

Had to return the product as area of drumhead was peeled off. It was really minor but I could face the issue in future if i tune it so I sent it back. Drop - pick & product related services were good.
