Detail 01
Key-tuned
A tuning key sets head tension instead of rope pulls, so pitch changes take seconds and hold steady over time.

- Players who want to retune quickly between rooms or sessions
- Percussionists who need a full-size djembe for standing play

What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
25 in. tall
Full standing or seated height, so you can play it between your knees on a chair without a stand.
Detail 03
14 in. head
A large playing surface with real bass under the palm and room to separate bass, tone and slap strokes.
Detail 04
Natural finish
Plain uncolored look rather than a printed design, so it reads traditional next to other percussion.
Detail 05
Remo synthetic construction
Head and shell resist humidity swings, so the pitch does not wander when you move between rooms or outdoors.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm the tuning key is in the box before your first session
- 02At 25 inches this needs floor space and a car trunk, not a backpack
- 03A carrying strap and stand are separate purchases
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I have to retune it like a rope djembe?
No. It uses a tuning key, so you turn lugs to raise or lower pitch. It is faster than rope pulling and holds tension between sessions.
02Is 14 inches a full-size djembe head?
Yes. A 14-inch head is a standard full-size playing surface, with enough diameter for a deep bass tone and clear slaps at the edge.
03Can I play this outside?
Yes. Remo's synthetic construction is far less sensitive to humidity and temperature than natural skin, so tuning stays put outdoors.
04Do I sit or stand to play it?
At 25 inches you can sit and hold it between your knees. For standing play you would need a strap, which is sold separately.
