Djembe Drum 10" diameter, 50cm high, deep carved, wood - Educator Classic

The 10 inch Educator Classic deep carved djembe drum is part of an affordable range designed for long-term classroom use. This model is 50cm high, making it an excellent medium-size drum for primary age groups and perfect for two-handed playing by children up to age 14 or 15.

Handcrafted using traditional techniques and natural materials, the 10 inch Educator Classic djembe features a single-piece mahogany shell made from sustainably sourced, SVLK certified wood. It has a medium-thick natural goatskin head, single-knotted nylon rope, and a rubber base for added durability and protection.

The medium size and deep carving offer a warm, full tone that is perfect for classroom rhythm work, group play, and drumming circles. This drum is ideal for Foundation Stage and Primary age groups because of its size and lighter weight. The deep-carved design not only enhances the tonal quality but also adds a visually appealing touch to any classroom or music room.

The drum’s rubber base helps protect both the drum and the floor, making it a great choice for active environments. The low storage footprint allows it to be easily stored in busy music departments or classrooms. If you're storing multiple drums, stackable storage/carry bags (available separately) can help keep the set neat and easy to move.
