Detail 01
12-inch head
The wider head drops the fundamental pitch and widens the gap between center bass and edge slap. More separation between the three voices.

TocaStreet Series Djembe Large Black
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The 12-inch, 24-inch-tall Street Series djembe in black. Full-size voice for players who want the drum to carry in a group.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Drum circles where you need to be heard, not just present
- Players who already know bass, tone, and slap and want range
- Playing standing with a strap or seated with the drum tilted
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone who carries a drum on public transit or by bike
- Kids and small players, who cannot reach across a 12-inch head
- Apartment players with close neighbors and thin walls
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 inches tall
Full-size body. Longer air column below the head, which is where the low end comes from. Plays tilted between the knees or standing on a strap.
Detail 03
$199.99
Twice the medium. You are paying for head diameter and body length, which is what buys volume and low end.
Detail 04
Black finish
Cosmetic. The red drums in this line are the smaller 8- and 10-inch sizes.
Detail 05
Open bottom port
The bass escapes through the base. On carpet or against a wall the low end chokes, so give it clearance.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No strap, stand, or bag is included. A strap matters at this size if you play standing.
- 02A 24-inch drum needs floor space and does not travel casually. Check your car.
- 03Hands only, and warm up. Full-size heads are harder on unconditioned hands.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is the jump from the 10-inch worth double the price?
If you play with other people, yes. The extra two inches of head and four of body are what let the drum carry in a circle.
02Can I play this standing up?
Yes, at 24 inches it is built for it, but you need a strap. One is not included.
03Is this too much drum for a beginner?
Technique-wise, no. A larger head actually separates the tones more clearly. The real issues are size, weight, and volume at home.
04How loud is it?
Loud. A full-size djembe with an open port projects hard and carries through walls. Consider the medium if noise is a concern.
