Toca Freestyle Canon Djembe 14 with Bag, Black Mamba

Beautiful drum. Great Sound. Nice low and top end. For sure drum, in humid conditions. No worries about wood swelling. Glad I purchased.

It is my first Djembe. Down the road i will get an authentic wood drum. I believe that this drum has its place in a jam session however, it does not have the warm resonating tone of a wooden drum. It is crisp and clear with a deep booming base. I would recommend this for a beginner like myself.

Drums with 14" heads are normaly pretty expensive in my experience. This one goes for under 200 and comes with a carrying case. It sounds great as well.

I am impressed with this drum! Before you even ask, this drum has a skin head and does not sound like a Remo drum. The low end is totally sick, as in terminally ill. I've played my share of drums and I have never heard one that has a subwoofer-like bass like this one. A complete bonus that it is light as a feather. Comes with a decent bag. Plus it is totally black, even the head. Mine does not look like the picture; the drum and head are both black and shiny, not grey.I disagree from prior reviews stating that this is not a professional drum. I feel it is, and that is the way I intend to use it. You might not want it to be your only drum, however, as it does have a very distinctive sound, brighter and not as warm as a wooden djembe, almost as if the midrange was tuned down.Highly recommended.

Toca Freestyle Canon Djembe 14 with Bag, Black Mamba,It's light, it looks cool, but I couldn't get the ringing to go away. I've played djembe for 20+ years and was looking for a light standing drum in a real size. I put like 30 diamonds in (aka. tuning) and the drum was as tight as it got- still a terrible overtone ringing. I watched some youtube videos on how to get the ringing away and hence applied some foam strips on the inside and put some electrical tape under the skin. The ringing went away somewhat but not totally and then the drum sounded flat. Bottomline, Great if you don't mind the ringing. But if you do mind the ringing, it sounds terrible. I sent it back.

I have the largest Black Mamba Djembe 14' i believe but,Awesome sound! well made! thundering lows! star of our drum circles at Rizzfest 2011 and 2012! had the campers below think it was native american indian spirits during the night! they said they kept hearing these low thundering sounds from the drum! highly recommended!

the drum head has an imperfection through the middle of the skin, I love the drum, but I was disappointed with the imperfection.

DONT EXPECT IT TO BE TUNNED< i only bought this because i cant tune my other 3 drums hoping i got one tight too loose to use

Per un controllo dei suoni ci vuole più tempo di un djembe in legno. Leggerissimo da trasportare, non lo classificherei come djembe per principianti, è uno strumento con dinamiche diverse dai djembe in legno, può essere usato in situazioni musicali diverse. Questione di gusti, di tecnica e capacità di introdurlo nei vari generi musicali.

Ottimo prodotto, bassi potenti

Das Ding macht höllisch Spaß und Krach! Wir werden wohl bald aus unserer Wohnung fliegen, denn die gesamte Familie bis zur kleinsten (16 Monate) hat einen riesigen Spaß am Trommeln gefunden, aber das ist mir die Sache wert. Wir werden dann glücklich und harmonisch unter der Brücke weitertrommeln ;-)Zur Trommel selbst: Es sind nicht die klassischen Materialien, es ist also keine Ziege drauf gespannt, aber das empfinde ich nicht als Nachteil. Die Bässe sind phänomenal und auch die Höhen klar. Durch die modernen Materialien muss ich mir auch nicht so viele Sorgen machen, wenn die Witterung einmal nicht so mitspielt. Das war mir persönlich sehr wichtig. Nicht, dass ich jetzt plane im größten Regen zu spielen, aber eine Tasse Wasser ist bei Kindern doch sehr schnell einmal verschüttet...Von mir gibt es auf ein rundum stimmiges Konzept eine klare Kaufempfehlung!

Buon rapporto qualità prezzo, suono piacevole, necessita ovviamente di un buon tiraggio. Arriva non accordato.
