Percussion Plus Slap djembe - 12 inch diameter, 60cm high - rope tuned

The Percussion Plus 12 inch 60 cm high rope tuned Slap djembe drum – is the largest model in the rope-tuned Slap djembe range. With its 12-inch playing head and 60cm height, this larger djembe delivers a fuller, louder sound for players who want stronger bass, clear tone, and crisp slap response.

A practical choice for older students, secondary settings, and adult players, this Percussion Plus rope tuned Slap djembe is well suited to school music, workshops, ensemble playing, and group djembe drumming. Its larger size gives it more presence and projection, while the printed drumhead guide also makes it useful for teaching and learning technique.

Built for reliable everyday use, the drum features a synthetic shell and synthetic skin, making it a durable option for regular handling in education and community settings. It is rope tuned with pre-stretched double-strung nylon rope and finished with a sarong-wrapped head ring and heat-sealed cotton cloth exterior, giving it a bold look as well as dependable performance. A carrying strap is also included for easier transport between sessions.

This 12 inch djembe drum is designed to produce the three core djembe sounds clearly: bass, tone, and slap. The printed “how to play” guide on the drum skin helps players understand where to strike the drum, making it especially useful for beginners, classroom teaching, and guided practice.

The Bass – The best sound is achieved in the centre of the drum. Keep your palm flat and firm, and strike the drum with a light bouncing motion.

The Tone – Straighten all your fingers together. Think of your hand as a straight extension of your arm, and you should produce a solid “thud” sound.

The Slap – This stroke is played in the same position as the tone, but with a more relaxed hand and arm. Slightly spreading your fingers as they strike the djembe helps create a crisp, clear sound.

For players and teachers looking for a larger rope tuned djembe with strong projection, clear teaching value, and a durable synthetic build, the Percussion Plus 12 inch 60cm high rope tuned Slap djembe is a strong option within the range.
