About this item

  • OUR MOST USER-FRIENDLY DJEMBE: the Alpine Series Djembe puts up with outdoor elements like dirt, sand, moisture, and sun; plus, it's easy to clean, lightweight, and tunes in seconds
  • WHY IT MATTERS: you can play more outdoor settings like drum circles without hassle since the djembe requires little to no maintenance; the Alpine Djembe is always ready to go from beaches to parks to open mic night
  • HOW IT WORKS: the shell and head are 100% all-weather synthetic material, so they won't expand or contract with changes in weather which can affect tuning and longevity; this material also resists dents/scratches and cuts down weight
  • ONE BIG THING: this djembe is equipped with Piezo pickups and a 1/4" jack to boost your signal through an amplifier or PA system; control volume with the knob on the side of the shell (cables not included)
  • HOW TO ADJUST PITCH: includes a tuning wrench to make quick adjustments or head changes; tighten the steel tension rods for a higher pitch and loosen to drop pitch (djembe comes pre-tuned)
  • BY THE NUMBERS: shell measures 12" wide x 24" tall and weighs about 8 lbs; head measures 12" with a 10" playing area (head is slightly larger than the playing area because it wraps around and down the rim)
  • THE BOTTOM LINE: have fun playing the Alpine Series Djembe anywhere, and don't worry wondering if it'll hold up; plus, you can plug-in with this djembe and boost your sound
  • THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality


A boost of volume is sometimes needed for outdoor percussion performances or live shows. This 100% synthetic djembe is outfitted with a Piezo pickup and quarter-inch input/output jacks plus volume control to plug into an amp or PA. Tuning is made simple with the mechanically tuned synthetic head. It delivers booming lows and popping highs – perfect for drum circles or large-scale performances. The synthetic build means the drum is easy to tune and stays in tune through changing weather conditions.

I love the low weight of this djembe. Excellent range of tone and volume. Worth every penny.

Really good quality product but shame about the painted print on the skin has smudged. Sound is great however.

Drum works out of the box. I will be swapping the synthetic skin for a natural skin if/when it fails. The feedback/feel/sound of the natural skin is better IMO. Still a very good drum especially for children although fully suitable for an adult as well.

Great little drum, easy for me as a beginner. Comes ready to pull out of the box and play. Feels solid and sounds good.

If you are on the fence about buying this drum, hop right off and get your wallet out. The craftsmanship of this drum versus an earlier drum I purchased from Amazon almost don't even compare in terms of quality. This thing is so clean and crisp and makes the nicest sounds; I really am impressed! Best $100 investment I ever made.
