Introducing the Percussion Plus Slap djembe pack - pretuned - 4 player pack

Djembes are becoming exceptionally popular within schools, music hubs and local community centres, and this pack is a convenient and cost-effective way for teachers to purchase drums for their classrooms. These drums are more than just a great form of music education for youngsters, they’re also a fun and therapeutic activity for all ages to get involved in. Nothing matches the joy of making music together, which is why we’ve created this pack, so you can play along with your friends and classmates.

Slap Djembes come with a wealth of features that make them easy to play, transport and, most importantly, give them a brilliant sound. With a colourful design, a well-tuned drum head and a durable construction, they’re everything you need for your therapy sessions, performances, demonstrations and more.

Now including Andy Gleadhill’s Slap Djembe book, which is the perfect introduction to playing and teaching the djembe. It’s full of innovative, engaging and accessible notation that will help you learn and play! The book features 12 traditional rhythms that take you on a journey around the globe. Plus, with each composition there are fun facts and cultural context to provide a rounded education on not only the music, but also the people and the places that the music comes from.

This pack comes with a 6”, 8”, 10” and 12” drum, along with one Slap Djembe book (see specifications for full pack details). You can purchase multiple packs or add individual drums to customise your order here, or for bigger groups, you can check out our 10 and 15 packs.

Let's play together

With these Slap Djembes from Percussion Plus, you get a great looking high-quality instrument with an innovative 'how to play' guide printed on the drum skin. There are many different techniques used to produce tones on a djembe and any of these can be used on our djembes. The printed graphic on the head of the drum offers suggested hand positions for the three main tones on a djembe: slap, tone, and bass.

With this easy method, teaching and learning is simple and allows you to tailor your class to include visual as well as instructive and aural learners, providing an inclusive way into music making for all levels and abilities.

Fun look, vibrant sound

The colourful pattern wrapped around and bonded to the drum gives a fun look suitable for classes and personal use, as well as festivals, demonstrations, and events. Their lightweight body and carrying strap also allows for easy transportation between and during playing sessions or events.

The design on the drum head shows examples of hand positions that can be employed to obtain a fabulous variety of tones from the drum, from punchy bass to cracking highs. When you hit the skin, let your hand bounce back allowing the sound to ring.

The Bass

The best sound is achieved in the centre of the drum. Keep your palm flat and stiff and strike the drum firmly.

The Tone

Straighten all your fingers at the same time. There are numerous hand positions that can be used to create the tone. Think of your hand as a straight extension of your arm, and you should get a solid ‘thud’ sound.

The Slap

This stroke can be played in the same position as the tone, the difference is that one relaxes the hand and arm to hit the drum with a slap-like motion. Spreading your fingers out slightly when they strike the djembe helps create a crisp clear sound.
