The Meinl HDJ 1 Djembe is a lightweight and durable percussion instrument that combines the traditional djembe shape with modern materials. The body is made of high-quality synthetic material, which makes the drum extremely resistant to moisture, temperature changes and mechanical damage. The synthetic head provides a clear, balanced sound with well-readable bass, tones and slaps and requires almost no maintenance. The djembe is ideal for beginners, schools, music clubs, drum circles and outdoor playing, where natural materials could suffer.
