Meinl PMDJ1-XL-F Djembe African Extra Large Travel synthetic

General

The Meinl PMDJ1-XL-F djembe is an extra large instrument with a rich sound. It has a 14-inch drumhead and a 26-inch deep shell, making it the largest drum in the Travel Series. Despite its large size, however, it is still very lightweight, thanks to the synthetic shell. Its 20% lighter than a fibreglass djembe of the same size. The drumhead is also made of a synthetic material, which means its resistant to changes in temperature and weather. That makes this the ideal djembe for street performers and percussion groups that often perform outdoors.

Powerful slaps

The deep shell and the high-quality synthetic drumhead create a deep, warm sound, along with the possibility to play extra powerful slaps with excellent projection. You can also quickly adjust the instrument's pitch, thanks to its innovative tuning mechanism. With a simple flick of the wrist, the drumhead can be tuned to your liking, even while you're playing. Furthermore, thanks to its bright red colour, the PMDJ1-XL-F Travel Series djembe certainly catches your eye, while the traditional decorations proudly display the instrument's African heritage. Are you looking for a large djembe that is not too heavy, then the Meinl PMDJ1-XL-F is an excellent choice.
