Toca Freestyle Lightweight Djembe Drum 10 in. Rasta

Description

The unprecedented portability and sound quality of the Lightweights Hand Drums make them excellent choices for drum facilitators and music teachers. These new hand drums from Toca may be "Lightweights," but that only refers to poundage. Lightweights Hand Drums are available in three sizes: 9" in diameter by 16" high, 10" in diameter by 19" high, and 12" in diameter by 22" high. Professional hand drummers will appreciate the Lightweights' potential as soloing instruments. The fact that the finish covers both the shell and the head adds to the visual uniqueness of these innovative drums. Don't let the name fool you. The Jamaican-inspired "Rasta" features a bright black/red/yellow/green striped motif, while the African-themed Earth Tone offers an organic brown/black/tan pattern. The sculpted shell is made of an ultra-light synthetic material that dramatically reduces the weight of the drum without sacrificing anything when it comes to tone, resonance, or durability. This head provides great playing response and a wide frequency range while eliminating tuning hassles and concerns about the head losing tension. When it comes to sonic performance, powerful projection, and genuine value, these drums are definitely in the heavyweight category. A rubber edge protects the bottom of the shell. In combination with the ultra-light shell, this durable head helps each Lightweights Hand Drum to produce clean open tones, crisp slaps, and rich, deep bass tones.
