MEINL PERCUSSN ADJ10DA 10″ Alpine Series Djembe, Synthetic Head (Day Of The Dead) MEINL PERCUSSN

The 10-in Meinl Alpine Djembe features an incredibly lightweight yet durable construction that is perfect for travel. Outfitted with a durable synthetic head, the unique body style delivers a wide range of deep bass tones and crisp highs that respond to your touch at all dynamic levels. A sturdy, easy-to-use mechanical tuning system ensures consistent sound regardless of changes in weather, making this drum a great companion for outdoor playing. The striking and eco-friendly finish options complete the djembe’s refined appearance.

A 100 percent synthetic shell and head is central to the design of Meinl Alpine Series djembes so that you don’t have to worry about temperature, playing in 98 percent humidity or dashing for cover over the slightest sprinkle of rain. The durable synthetic head gives you the tone and feel you would expect from rawhide – from booming bass notes to popping slap tones – with the added benefit of long-lasting tuning. When you need extra pop or more low end, remove the rubber cap on the bottom of the tuning lug and turn to the left or right using the included tuning wrench to adjust the tension on the head. If needed, the lugs can be loosened to remove the head completely from the shell of the drum.

Where the rubber meets the road, so to speak, we sealed the underside of the Alpine Djembes with a durable rubber lining. This is a design element these djembes could not go without. Great for busking on concrete sidewalks or resting the drum on grass when playing with an outdoor drum circle.
