MEINL Pioneer Carved Mahogany Djembe

The Meinl Pioneer Djembe is crafted in time-honored fashion from a single piece of sustainably-grown mahogany, giving the drum added durability and a full, resonant sound for any application. Outfitted with a hand-selected goatskin head and traditional Mali-weave tuning system, this djembe offers deep bass tones and popping highs. Hand-carved patterns enhance the glossy brown cacao finish.

Solid Mahogany Shell Provides Full, Rich Sound

The Meinl Pioneer Djembe is constructed from a single piece of mahogany, which gives it a sturdy shell and projects tones with richness and depth. The solid wood also helps the drum retain its round shape through frequent playing and travel. This high-quality build produces an authentic West African sound suitable for drum circles, live shows, or recording.

Premium Goatskin Head Responds Quickly

A hand-selected goatskin drumhead tops the Meinl Pioneer Djembe. Goatskin is a traditional material valued for its sensitivity and responsiveness. It produces a wide range of tones from the djembe's slaps, tones, and bass notes. The drumhead is secured in place with rope lacing, which can be tightened or loosened to suit the player's preferences.

Hand-Carved Details Accentuate Rustic Appeal

Intricate hand-carved patterns embellish the Meinl Pioneer Djembe's mahogany shell. These artistic touches highlight the drum's craftsmanship and cultural heritage. Together with the glossy cacao finish, the carvings give the djembe a rustic yet refined appearance suitable for display between performances.

Portable Size, Accessories Included

With a 12" height and 24" circumference, the Meinl Pioneer Djembe has a portable size suitable for transport to gigs or drum circles. A shoulder strap and tuning key are included to make playing and carrying the drum convenient.
