Remo Mondo Designer Series Key-Tuned Djembe Black Earth 27"X16"

This 28" x 18" djembe fuses centuries of West African drumming tradition with Remo's cutting edge drumhead and shell technology. The result is a hand drum that looks, sounds, and feels like no other.

Weather-Resistant Shells Provide Consistent Tone

Remo Mondo djembes feature shells made from 100% recycled wood fiber, Acousticon, an innovative material that provides protection from weather while allowing the drum to resonate freely. This means each djembe has the same rich, resonant tone—from the first drum off the production line to the last. The Acousticon shells are fitted with Remo's Skyndeep drumheads, which provide a warm bass tone and crisp slap while resisting damage from heat, cold, and humidity.

Precisely Tuned for Optimal Sound

Remo Mondo djembes are key tuned using a standard drum key, allowing percussionists to quickly tune their drum to the desired pitch. Remo carefully tailors each drum during manufacturing to produce tones suited for West African rhythms as well as world music, drum circles, education and stage performance. The result is a djembe with a satisfying range of sounds, from high slaps to deep bass notes.

Roadworthy and Ready to Play

With their durable shells and weather resistant heads, Remo Mondo djembes are ideal for taking on the road. A rubber bottom protects the shell from ground impact, ensuring this djembe will provide years of reliable service.

An Instrument with History and Heart

The djembe traces its roots to West Africa, where for centuries it has been used in rituals, dances and celebrations. The Mondo Designer Series Key-Tuned Djembe allows musicians today to connect with this ancient tradition.
