Djembe Sun 10″ – a wooden percussion drum with key-tuned membrane tension, eliminating the need for traditional rope pulling. It features a natural goat skin membrane, which can be easily replaced on your own.

The playing area is 24 cm (10″) in diameter, the height is 36 cm, and it features a braided handle. With a shell thickness of 10 mm, the drum remains lightweight. The djembe’s sling system is braided and has a strong core to prevent stretching. The striking zones (tone, slap, bass) are excellently pronounced for a 10-inch percussion instrument. This is a classic instrument with a hybrid tension system (tuned with a standard 5 mm hex key). The shell is airtight, and the rim rigging features 10 loops. The Djembe Sun can be held between the legs while sitting, or tucked under the arm just like a doumbek or darbuka.

User guide

  • A new instrument needs a break-in period — the ropes may need occasional tightening around the perimeter using the braiding method. The drum already has a few knots on it to serve as a reference.
  • If the djembe gets wet, dry it at room temperature without loosening the membrane.
  • Keep away from fire, sudden temperature changes, and moisture — natural skin does not tolerate these conditions.
  • Do not sit on the instrument or drop it.
  • Try to use the carry bag whenever possible.
  • Play only with clean hands, without bracelets or rings.
  • Transport lying down.
