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.

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.
Rated 4.5/5

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.
