Large Pro Djembe Drum – Soul Sound (low) – 50cm (22cm Diia)

This is a large jackfruit wood djembe drum with a low, grounded voice, made for rhythm that feels full in the hands and present in the room. The deeper Soul Sound tuning suits drum circles, performance practice, meditation spaces, and unhurried home playing where bass and pulse matter as much as speed.

Low, room-filling rhythm

• The low voice gives the drum a broad, weighty character, especially when played with an open palm in the centre.
• Edge strokes bring contrast, moving from rounded tones to sharper accents as your technique develops.
• The taller shell and wider head give the sound more body than a small practice drum.
• It feels like an instrument to gather around, steady enough for shared rhythm and expressive enough for solo practice.
• The white playing head and dark cordwork create a clear stage presence without turning the drum into decoration only.

Built for hands-on playing

A djembe rewards simple beginnings. Start with three core strokes: bass in the centre with a relaxed flat palm, tone near the edge with fingers together, and slap near the edge with a looser, sharper hand.

The learning curve is part of the pleasure. Small changes in hand position, pressure, and release can change the voice of the drum.

Jackfruit wood shell and corded body

The shell is made from jackfruit wood, with dark polyester string lacing running down the bowl and around the head. The warm brown body is decorated with black line patterns, and the base is finished with a black rubber ring for a steadier contact with the floor.

The playing head is white and printed with the Soul Sound mark. Its material is not specified, so the feel is best understood by playing it rather than by assuming a skin type.

How to care for the drum

Keep it in a dry, temperate room and avoid leaving it near radiators, damp floors, or strong changes in humidity. Wood and drum heads respond to their surroundings, so a steady environment helps the instrument stay more consistent.

Wipe the shell and head with a soft, dry cloth after use. Do not soak the wood or cord, and store the drum upright where the head will not be pressed or marked.

Made in Indonesia

This drum is made in Indonesia, with the familiar goblet-shaped form and hand-played technique that make the djembe such a direct, expressive instrument.

Common questions

Is this a playable instrument or mainly decorative?
It is a playable djembe drum. The carved-looking shape, corded body, and printed head give it visual presence, but its purpose is hand percussion.

What does ‘low’ mean for this drum?
‘Low’ refers to the Soul Sound voice, which is intended to feel deeper and fuller than a brighter, higher-tuned djembe. It suits bass-led rhythm and slower, grounded playing.

Do I need drumsticks?
No. A djembe is played with the hands, using the centre and edge of the head to create different tones.
