Percussion Plus Carnival Slap Djembe - Pre-tuned
Introducing the latest generation of the Percussion Plus Slap Djembe, now with a vibrant ‘Carnival’ design. Crafted with precision at the world-renowned djembe factory in Bali, these drums combine durability, excellent tonal quality, and eye-catching visuals—making them perfect for any music education setting. The classic instructive drumheads offer guided technique, making this djembe an ideal choice for educators.
Built to withstand classroom environments, the strong yet lightweight design enhances accessibility without compromising sound. With a powerful bass as a foundation, complemented by crisp slaps and deep, resonant tones, these djembes bring the dynamic range needed for engaging group music lessons.
Supplied pre-tuned and available in various sizes, these colourful djembes invite you to start your own djembe circle. They are exceptional tools for SEND learning, Whole Class Ensemble Teaching (WCET), and can even support CPD programs for teachers aiming to broaden their musical skills and resources!
How to play
The design on the drum head shows where the hand should strike the drum in order to obtain a fabulous variety of tones, from punchy bass to cracking highs. When you hit the skin, let your hand bounce back allowing the sound to ring.
The slap
Played around the edge of the drum. Relax your hand and arm, and hit the drum with a slap-like motion. Spread your fingers out slightly when they strike the edge of the djembe.
The tone
Straighten all your fingers so they strike the drum head flat at the same time. Aim to strike the drum so that the joint where your fingers join your hand (at the first knuckle) is at the rim of the drum. Think of your hand as a straight extension of your arm, and you should get a solid 'thud' sound.
The bass
The best sound is achieved in the centre of the drum. Keep your palm flat and stiff and strike the drum firmly.
