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
24 in. height
Full-size body. Sit and play between the knees, or use a strap standing.
Detail 03
12 in. head
Wide playing surface, so bass and slap tones separate clearly under the hand.
Detail 04
Synthetic head
Immune to humidity. Brighter, more consistent slap than skin, less warm midrange.
Detail 05
Kintekloth shell finish
Printed fabric wrap over the shell. Cosmetic, and it scuffs easier than bare hardware.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01A drum key is needed for tuning; confirm one is in the box
- 02No stand or strap included at this price point
- 03Tune the lugs evenly in a star pattern or the head chokes
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to tune it before playing?
Usually a light touch-up. Heads settle in shipping. Go around the lugs in a star pattern until the pitch is even at each one.
02Can I leave it outside or in a garage?
The synthetic head handles humidity and temperature far better than goatskin. Still keep it out of direct sun and rain.
03Is this loud enough for a drum circle?
Yes. The 12-inch head and 24-inch body give it enough bass and cutting slap to hold its own unamplified.
04How does it compare to a rope-tuned djembe?
Faster and easier to tune, and it stays put. A rope drum with a natural skin gives a warmer, more traditional voice.
