The MEINL Rope-Tuned Travel Series djembes are great drums for professionals, as well as those who want to spend an afternoon playing at home or with a drum circle. These patented djembes are ultralightweight (even 20% lighter than our fiberglass djembes) which makes them easy to carry. The combination of a synthetic head and shell produces sharp slaps along with deep bass tones and makes them the perfect drum for outdoor use since they are unaffected by changes in weather.
