If you are looking for a completely organic djembé in construction and sound, the Toca Percussion TODJ 8AM is your choice. The Toca Percussion TODJ 8AM is a string-tuned djembé made of carved mahogany. It has an 8 inch (20.32 cm) leather head and 41 cm height, which makes it easy to carry.
Made with wood created in environmentally sustainable plantations, it has a warm and vibrant resonance, thanks to its selected natural leather.
The Toca Percussion TODJ 8AM from the Origin series is an affordable djembé to add to your percussion instrument collection, or to start one. With a balanced and dynamic sound, it responds as well to traditional rhythms as to more urban ones. It has a defined sound, great for playing solo or together.
Originally from West Africa, the name djembe comes from "Anke djé, anke bé", an expression of the Bambara people of Mali, which means "let us all come together in peace". The djembé is a sonically versatile instrument, and it is possible to extract various sounds using various hand and playing techniques, either solo or accompanying other instruments.
Toca Percussion's mission is not only to create the best percussion instruments in the world, but also to protect the environment in doing so. The goal is to create products that are natural and full of identity. Handcrafted work also makes each djembé unique.
The Origin series offers hand-carved instruments from wood grown in sustainable plantations, with concern for the environment, and treated in solar-powered ovens.
Create the best atmosphere at your party with the Toca Percussion TODJ 8AM Origin Series.
