Remo Djembe, MONDO(TM), Infinity, Key-Tuned, 14" x 25", SKYNDEEP Natural, Goat Stripe Brown, Contour Tuning Brackets, Eco-Grain Choco Red Finish

The REMO Infinity Mondo 14 x25 Djembe features the Mondo Skyndeep Natural Graphic drumhead, Acousticon drum shell, newly engineered key-tuned Contour brackets and the Choco Red Designers Touch Eco-Grain finish. In Africa, one of the functions of a djembe is as a healing drum. REMO Djembes are based on the same traditional Djembe tone and form combined with their modern advances, especially the REMO Acousticon drum shell made in the USA. Remo s proprietary Acousticon is an environmentally friendly shell material made with 100% recycled wood fibers.

A variety of sounds can be pulled from a djembe (pronounced GEM-bay ) drum, from the deep and booming bottom tone to the bright, singing top sound. A djembe can easily be played to emulate a set of congas or bongos and the kick and snare of a drum set as well as the music that djembes are usually associated with. That s why djembes are becoming the one drum to carry!Tunable djembe sizes run from a top or drumhead diameter of 10 up to 18 with the 14 size having a slight edge in popularity because it is not too big to carry conveniently and not too small to lose the big bottom tone. Unlike traditional fixed-head or rope-tuned djembes, REMO has led the field with the great advance of its key-tuned djembe drumheads. You can easily re-tune your REMO djembe to the dominant pitch you prefer and in the rare event that your djembe drumhead becomes worn out or torn, it can be very ea
