The hand carved shells feature a horizontal ripple motif that suggests a flowing river. This exterior texture also makes the djembe easy to grip between the knees. Hand selected goat heads are secured and tuned by the traditional Mali-Weave system made of high quality nylon rope . MEINL Headliner djembes have outstanding acoustic properties reaching from deep, resonant bass notes to cutting, high-pitched slaps, and are ready to pick up and play right out of the box. For added protection of your instrument, MEINL specializes in carrying bags for their percussion products. The MEINL djembe gig bag (Model# MSTDJB) is perfect for all djembe sizes and is equipped with heavy duty nylon stitching and a strong shoulder strap.

![]() Deep, Resonant Bass Djembe, By
This review is from: Meinl Percussion HDJ3-M Black River Series Headliner Rope Tuned Djembe, Medium: 10-Inch Diameter (Electronics)
This is a quality instrument with a deep, resonant bass, yet able to produce cutting highs around the rim. I didn’t buy this on Amazon because I didn’t know about it until I went to the Guitar Center on 14th Street in Manhattan to buy the Toca Street Series small black djembe and found it while the salesperson went to the basement to bring it up to the floor. As soon as I played it, I knew I had to trade up to a 10″ head and 20″ length. No comparison with the smaller djembes. Heavy, but in my Toca djembe backpack, it can be carried about without too much inconvenience. And, b-t-w, the GC beat everyone’s price (including Amazon Marketplace and eBay) when they matched it to their medium Toca Street Series at .99. I am very happy about that.
Heads up on the cost of djembe stands. I used the rope handle on this one to secure it to a portable tripod GCI Packseat (think I bought that for about ?). It works great and is obviously very portable. Just thought I’d share. 0

Great looking with excellent deep sound. Highly recommend at a reasonable price. The skin seems very sturdy and the rope bindings around the drum appear to be well made.

THIS DRUM WAS BETTER THAN I EXPECTED.
IT WAS A GIFT FOR MY WIFE& SHE LOVES IT. THE DRUM NEEDED TUNING BADLY BUT AFTERWARDS IT SOUNDED GREAT. FOR THE PRICE YOU CAN’T BEAT IT. ANOTHER GOOD DEAL FROM AMAZON. 0 |
