12-inch Djembe with Snare Throw Off

Internal snare wires powered by an on/off throw off mechanism put the 12-inch Rhythm Tech Palma Djembe in a class all its own. This instrument takes you from tribal rhythms to kick-and-snare beats with the flip of a lever. The Palma Djembe's quality PVC shell delivers an aggressive slap and thunderous low tone, all at a size that plays well between the knees, on a stand, or on a strap. We at Sweetwater were pleased to see the Palma Djembe's topside drum key tuning hardware, which promises fast head changes and tune-ups without a special wrench. An earthy striated finish and vibrant Rhythm Tech logo give this djembe a one-of-a-kind look to match its unique feature set.

Reviews

Rhythm Tech Palma Djembe
Good sound. Easy to play. Like the snare feature. Built a simple riser for it. Looks like will be straightforward to tune with the included drum key.
Would like to see a bag for this drum. Otherwise no complaints and no regrets.
First Djembe
I love this thing! Solid sound all around and the snare option is so cool. I'm naturally an acoustic drum set drummer so I couldn't tell you much more about it. Its fun and a great value. Gonna be some nice nights out around the fire jammin' with the boys.
No head replacement!!!
It's good for the price, but if the head breaks you are going to have to throw it away, there is not head replacement for this kind anywhere.
