This 12″ synthetic “World Slap” pre-tuned djembe stands 60cm high and makes a great large djembe for any age range of player.. It’s a great, general purpose, large djembe and, thanks to its light weight, makes a great travel djembe even for adult players.

The drum materials may be modern plastics but the rope tuning system is traditional and has the advantage of allowing the drum to be retuned, if ineeds be. The novel hand prints on the playing head act as useful reminders to players of where they should be striking the drum.

The playing head is made from tough synthetic Mylar, a Dupont plastic that produces are really good sound and is quick and easy to wipe down. It’s also waterproof and so won’t change in tension if it gets damp (or soaked through!).

The shells are made of polyvinylchloride, the same strong plastic that is used for water pipes, and they’re very tough, light and strong. The shells are also very resonant and produce a very full sound. The one-piece shells are covered in a colourfully printed textile “sarong”, featuring flags and maps of the world, and have rubber bases that protects the floor from scratches and the drum from cracks.

The rope tuned Slap djembes are a great, lightweight djembe and are perfect for settings that prefer not to use animal skins. Make sure you choose the right size – download our chart showing hand sizes and recommended djembe diameters for each age group.

This fitted perfectly and is a very good bag. One satisfied customer!
The gamelan stick is good too – I’ve just refurbed a set of antique Wilkinson’s Patent chime bells bought on e-bay and the stick works very well with these!

Chris Sangster

Many thanks for beautiful instruments! They are very, very nice.

Zane Kriumane

The pack comes with a storage basket, the ideal solution for keeping all your small percussion together.

Richard McKerron

The kit arrived safely and we had great fun opening the parcel with the children. They loved looking at all the instruments and trying out the different sounds. After Easter we will be using the instruments regularly and look forward to trying some of the ideas in the accompanying booklet.
