Description
The Percussion Plus Carnival Slap Djembe mechanically tuned
Introducing the latest generation of the Percussion Plus Slap Djembe, now with a vibrant ‘Carnival’ design. Crafted with precision at the world-renowned djembe factory in Bali, these drums combine durability, excellent tonal quality, and eye-catching visuals—making them perfect for any music education setting. The classic instructive drumheads offer guided technique, making this djembe an ideal choice for educators.
Built to withstand classroom environments, the strong yet lightweight design enhances accessibility without compromising sound. With a powerful bass as a foundation, complemented by crisp slaps and deep, resonant tones, these djembes bring the dynamic range needed for engaging group music lessons.
These mechanically tuned djembes combine the practicality of the pre-tuned drums with the musical refinement of the rope tuning, and they're supplied in various sizes, inviting you to start your own djembe circle. They are exceptional tools for SEND learning, Whole Class Ensemble Teaching (WCET), and can even support CPD programs for teachers aiming to broaden their musical skills and resources!
This is the medium drum in the mechanically tuned Slap djembe range - it's 50cm high and has a 10 inch diameter playing head and a carrying strap. It's suitable for players up to 18 years and adult players too.
The drum shell and skin are synthetic and the skin is stretched using a modern bolt tensioning system. The djembe can be easily tuned using the wrench provided, and damaged drumheads can be quickly and inexpensively replaced.
The djembe produces great high and low tones. The 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.
