A superb choice for drum circles, educational percussion, and professional ensemble performances alike, the Latin Percussion Galaxy wood Djembe from Sweetwater is an absolute go-to for achieving that high-quality traditional hand drum sound. Birthed from 100% Siam oak wood, this Galaxy wood djembe offers a magnificent and authoritative sound, accentuating treble rim slaps and impactful bass tones with staggeringly present projection. When you also factor in the natural goatskin head, the true tone of this djembe unearths itself with an energy that perfectly satisfies traditional Latin and African percussive applications. Ornamenting the oak shell is all-chrome hardware, including steadfast 3/8-inch tuning lugs and a forgiving LP Comfort Curve II rim. Rest assured that professional playability is the name of the game! This Galaxy wood djembe is designed for effortless playability while you’re standing (with a separately sold strap) or sitting or when it’s mounted on a dedicated drum stand.
