The MEINL Mechanical Tuned Travel Series Djembes are ultra-lightweight drums that are great for professionals as well as recreational players. The patented synthetic shell makes these djembes 20% lighter than fiberglass models which enables quick and easy transportation. Equipped with either synthetic or hand selected goat skin heads, they produce the cutting slaps and warm bass tones found in traditional African drums. The mechanical tuning system allows you to change pitch quickly and easily.
