Meinl Jumbo Djembe Hand Drum with Deep Bass Tone - Synthetic Shell and Head, 2-Year Warranty (JD14DA-DH)

The Meinl Jumbo Djembes are renowned for their bassiest sound among the brand's djembes. Crafted with a 100% all-weather synthetic head and body, these instruments offer exceptional performance. The extra-thick hoop of the head allows for the development of powerful bass resonance, granting users a more pronounced "boom" effect. The synthetic body material reduces weight and is low-maintenance, as it does not react to changes in weather like traditional wooden djembes. Included with the Jumbo Djembe is a tuning key, enabling quick adjustments to the drum head pitch.

Available in 12" x 24" and 14" x 26" sizes, these djembes are ideal for a variety of applications, including drum circles, acoustic gigs, recording, and outdoor jamming sessions. Meinl offers a selection of head types, including white synthetic (high-pitch open tone), beige synthetic (low-pitch muffled tone), and designer synthetic (low-pitch muffled tone). The 14" beige and designer heads come equipped with an adhesive muffling device on the underside.

The Jumbo Djembe's dimensions are 14" W x 26" H, and it weighs a modest 12.6 lbs, with a 14" head diameter. Suitable for all skill levels, this djembe excels in delivering deep, resonant bass that can be felt across a room, surpassing even Meinl's own traditional djembes without overwhelming the volume.

The importance of deep, rhythmic bass in music and movement cannot be overstated. The Jumbo Djembe allows users to bring this captivating low-end energy to acoustic gigs and drum circles while staying within the volume range typically associated with djembes. The synthetic head, integrated into an extra-thick hoop, enables the development of low tones into a truly resonant bass, while the large synthetic body projects both bass and high notes with the classic djembe sound.

Tuning the Jumbo Djembe is a breeze, thanks to the steel tension rods and the included tuning key, allowing players to quickly tighten or loosen the drum head as needed. The 100% synthetic all-weather construction makes this djembe well-suited for traveling and outdoor performances, as the lightweight material is not affected by changes in weather, unlike its wooden counterparts.

Meinl, a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established in 1951 in Germany, has a reputation for delivering exceptional quality. The company's expert German designers work closely with skilled builders to ensure the finest quality instruments are produced, such as the Jumbo Djembe, which caters to drummers and percussionists of all skill levels.
