Choose a synthetic head for your next djembe

It’s no secret that traditional djembes have been made from animal materials for centuries. In fact, the skin of this percussion instrument originally came directly from animals living near West African communities, namely antelopes and, more recently, sheep or goats. However, while finding an alternative was impossible back then, that is far from the case today. Thanks to new technologies and major improvements in plastic materials, it is now possible to make fully synthetic, artificial drumheads, especially with PVC. That means there is no longer any need to use leather or animal skin, especially since the sound quality produced by this djembe with synthetic head is similar to that of genuine animal skin. As a result, djembe players can now enjoy their favourite instrument without compromising their personal beliefs. So go ahead and treat yourself to this magnificent djembe. Add it to your basket straight away.
