Schalloch 700.L 12" Djembe Large

Has been holding up nicely

no issues with the drum or shipping, not played professionally, but has had good use

only had to watch some videos on tightening the drum head after a year or so

Really good budget instrument

Perfect for students. Nice sound and really good quality

Not very large

It is smaller than i expected , but it sounds very nice !

For this price you really get a nice drum !

Sounds nice

Bought it for my brother as a birthday present and although he is not a professional djembe drummer he was satisfied.

Pros.

- Good value for the money

- Sounds nice

Cons

Good quality

I used for practicing and learning some basic skills.

For me everything was perfect and suited my needs. Perfect for beginners and learning.

Djembe worth having

We looked and looked for the best djembe to buy. Debating over quality and price we decided on the schalloch 700 12". It's in constant use whether the professional drummer or our 2 year son.

The design and colour really caught our eyes and it looks exactly like the pictures. The sound is superb - Even if played with a good few instruments. Crisp to bass sound! This djembe is my favourite so far (we've had a few pass by). Highly recommend!!

Good price-quality ratio

As for the esthetic part it is very well designed, the wood is fine carved..

This djembe has the lowest price for this sound quality and for my needs in this moment I am pleased with the quality..

But if I had to change something I would want for my djembe to have more bass sound regarding more profundity in lower range, and also what I found important (as an amateur of course)...the convex perimeter part of the ring on top is too big (too wide) for me to achieve the whole sound spectar that I can usually accomplish while playing this instrument, it shoud a be thinner area so when I slam it with my fingers I get a higher sound..But for this price maybe I'm asking too much, nevertheless I am glad I bought it.

Thank you!

Great drum for the money - improves with age.

After a year of use I've really come to appreciate this djembe; great sound and great value for money. It's well-constructed from solid wood with a decent head and good ropework. The sound (and/or my playing) has improved over the year; I use the djembe for home studio recording (double-mic'd) and people in pro studios often comment on the solidity and tone on the track...it's also great fun to jam with...inspiring. I'm not a real expert with drums but I've been very happy with this one and recommend it.

I rated 4 for sound and quality as I'm sure there are better drums at higher prices but the Schalloch gets top overall marks for it's value in context.

Useful and decorative

We were looking for something like this and this was the cheapest I could find at the time. Nevertheless it does the job very well.

We are very pleased with it.

If you have not used one before then you to lift it from the floor to get the best sound. If it rests on a flat surface (covering the hole at the bottom) then most of the sound is lost.
