Description
The '12 inch Pre tuned Percussion Plus Slap djembe, 60cm high' is the biggest drum in the pretuned Slap djembe range - it's 60cm high and has an 12 inch playing head diameter and a carrying strap. It's suitable for secondary and adult players.
The drum shell and skin are synthetic and the skin is pre-tuned (there's no stringing) and produces great high and low tones. The 12 inch Pre tuned Percussion Plus Slap djembe drum is light-weight, it makes a very good sound and it will last for years.
Slap Djembes
Slap djembes are easy to play, transport, and they make a great sound. They're attractively designed and are manufactured from modern synthetic materials, making them very reliable and great value.
Playing technique
All Slap djembes have an innovative 'how to play' guide printed on the drum skin. The printed graphic offers suggested hand positions for the three main tones used in djembe playing: slap, tone, and bass. This can be a very helpful reminder to players and for the teacher means more time can be spent on other things. As with all types of djembe, after you hit the skin, let your hand bounce back allowing the sound to ring out.
The Bass - The best sound is achieved in the centre of the drum. Keep your palm flat and stiff and strike the drum with a bouncing motion.
The Tone - Straighten all your fingers at the same time. Think of your hand as a straight extension of your arm, and you should get a solid ‘thud’ sound.
The Slap - This stroke can be played in the same position as the tone, the difference is that one relaxes the hand and arm to hit the drum with a slap-like motion. Spreading your fingers out slightly when they strike the djembe helps create a crisp clear sound.
