lotmusic African Djembe Drum, Standard 8'' Red Cloth Stitched Congo Drum, Professional Bongo Drum With Goatskin Drumhead

The media could not be loaded. Let's just get this in the open, I am not a drummer. When I needed something simple, portable, elegant, and easily used by anyone this little Djembe really hit the spot. I primarily play guitar, bass, and other stringed instruments - mostly in the basement with some friends. A small footprint, good sound, and affordability were my focuses when picking this out.At the time of writing this review I've had the drum for a month and have gotten some good time on it.If you're looking for something with a deep bass tone this isn't the drum for you. It's small and petite which is directly correlated to the tones it produces. For the price the sound is great. The resin body does produce a more crisp sharper tone with less resonance than wood. I'm sure the authentic goatskin head plays a big role in the quality sound.Not only is the drum small but it's also really lightweight. As I said above it's resin, not wood , so it's really lightweight! Carrying this drum around from place to place is effortless. You can carry it by the handle with a single finger and have no strain.Aesthetically, the fabric covering is a really attractive and an eye-catcher. The head of my drum was very tight, no loose or weak spots. The rope is strung very securely, I have no concerns of this loosening on it's own.The drum was packaged and shipped with care. I was worried about getting a lower cost plastic body drum, sometimes manufacturers and Amazon are a bit careless. This was packaged really well.Overall, I would absolutely recommend this to someone if they want small and lightweight. The sound quality is spot on for my needs. I think this would make a great beginner and hobbyist instrument.

Just received a 10x20 drum. I’m pleasantly surprised and impressed. It’s well constructed and a pleasure to play. A very nice compromise between small and large drums. Its colorfully painted but not garish and easily transported.

Nice sound! Affordable!

Pros: Cheap, Light, decent sound, solid woodcons: weird rope handle came undone, not great sound,This is a great entry point for those who want to test the water for playing. Decent enough sound that you won't be laughed out of a drum circle or acoustic jam, but when you hear the good ones, it will leave you wanting. it's a great travel drum due to its size and weight, and if it gets damaged you're not out several hundred bucks. Make sure you tune the drum when you get it. There are tons of YouTube videos on how to rope tune the drum.

A tad heavy. But still a great value...so colorful too

It's exactly what I wanted. It has good sounds. The quality is better than I thought it would be for the price.

I developed my style using a book as a drum. It took me a little bit to adjust to an actual drum head. For the price I could not be more happy with my progress. This is just a stepping stone to the world of rhythm and fun. Worth every penny.

Bought for my father as a Christmas gift. He absolutely loves it! Fast shipping and a beautiful product! Thank you so much
