Small Pro Djembe Drum – Soul Sound (low) – Small 30cm (15cm Diia)

A compact jackfruit wood djembe drum with a low Soul Sound voice, made for hand-played rhythm that feels warm, grounded and close. Its goblet shape sits easily between the hands, with black lacing around a pale drum head and a deep reddish-brown body marked with dark geometric linework.
