Meinl Percussion Djembe Drum African Hand Drum Instrument for Adults — NOT MADE IN CHINA — Mahogany Wood/Natural Head 8" x 15.75"

The Meinl Percussion Headliner Wood Djembe is hand-carved from a single piece of mahogany and fitted with a natural goat-skin head that delivers warm, clear tones. It’s easy to pick up even if you’ve never played before—deep bass in the center, bright slaps on the edge. Pre-tuned with the Mali Weave rope system, it’s ready to play right out of the box and holds its pitch. Perfect for drum circles, jamming with friends, acoustic shows, or teaching rhythm, and its traditional hand-carved build looks great on display. Available in multiple sizes to suit different tastes. Because the head is natural goat skin, color and texture may vary from product photos—making every drum unique.
