The Djembe's Big Bass Brother
Closely related to the djembe, the long-tapered and cylindrical ashiko likewise hails from West Africa but produces deeper bass tones than its brother. Indeed, the sound of the ashiko and the djembe in a drum circle together is something that Sweetwater percussionists feel everyone should experience. This Pearl rope-tuned wood ashiko features a solid mahogany shell that has a rich, deep, and warm sound with 14 EZ Twist Rope Tuners and a 12-inch tucked goatskin head that altogether produce a truly timeless sound. Less than two feet tall, this rope-tuned wood ashiko is perfect for those who prefer playing from a seated position.
