Highlights: The ultra-lightweight design of our percussion instruments makes them effortlessly portable. Our percussion instruments are enriched with authentic sound and feel, thanks to the meticulously selected goat heads. In the Rope Tuned Travel Series, precision meets performance with pre-stretched HTP (High Tensile Polymer) nylon ropes. Product Description: The new MEINL Travel Series Rope Tuned Djembes are great drums for professionals as well as those who just want to enjoy an afternoon playing at home or with a drum circle. These patented djembes are ultra-lightweight (even 20% lighter than our fiberglass djembes) which makes them easy to carry. The combination of a synthetic head and shell produces sharp slaps along with deep bass tones and makes them the perfect drum for outdoor use since they are unaffected by changes in weather.
