The Meinl Travel Series Djembe PADJ5-M-F is a handy plastic djembe for beginners as well as advanced players with a stylish and exotic Simbra finish. The head measures 10" and the body is 20" high. Crisp sound and deep bass make this drum a small workhorse in any drum circle. The combination of plastic head and body makes this instrument super light and comfortable to carry. The instrument is also weatherproof for outdoor use.
By using plastic for the Travel Djembe, Meinl's product developers were able to save a further 20% in weight compared to the fibreglass models. The Travel Djembe's thin shell is nevertheless very robust and insensitive due to the material. In addition, it is much easier to play and has a very sensitive, direct response with a pronounced depth range and assertive treble. The Travel Series Djembe is tuned using a traditional string tensioning system. A rubber ring on the bottom of the Travel Djembe protects the instrument from damage and ensures a non-slip stand.
