Toca 12" Freestyle II Djembe -SC 4-stars Reviews

Weatherproof and lightweight djembe with synthetic sound.

Quite a nice drum. Lightweight and weatherproof, which is its best pros. Skin is also weatherproof, but it's very thin and there is no good replacement if you manage to burst it (which does not come easily). Talking about cons I have to mention shell that is easily scratched by tension of a tuning rope (!) and the bottom rubber that unsticks pretty easily. The whole drum is synthetic and so is the sound - you can like it for its deep base and really high slaps and hate for lack of good tone (the sound between bass and slap). Very loud.

If you prioritize weight and weatherproof ability that's the drum for you, but if what you love in djembe is natural wood&goatskin sound - forget it.
