X8 DRUMS is extremely excited to offer four new models of Master Series djembes. Custom designs that you won't find anywhere else in the United States. This latest batch of djembes will knock you out with their aesthetic beauty and superior sound quality. We have a limited number of each model.
The Master Series djembes are hand made, custom carved professional grade instruments prepared with the finest materials.
Each drum goes through a rigorous inspection of quality control using hand selected #1 quality mahogany hardwood that is all legally harvested and certified to be legal timber.
Also, due to the specialized shell shape only 30% of the approved wood that is sorted for our Master Series line meets the size, shape, and quality criteria for a Master Series. All shells have to be both hand carved and lathed. This is expensive and takes a long time. Every Master Series djembe is carved extra thick for incredible tones, and unsurpassed range.
Take special note of the neck ring on each Master Series djembe. Every drum is secured with a forged steel neck ring that is specifically fitted and built for each model. All Master Series shells are hand carved with a built in groove that is custom fitted to lock the ring system into place. This tedious process of welding a custom steel neck ring leads to a highly secured tuning system.
When you tune up your new Master Series it stays locked and tight when performing. The Master Series has it all: craftsmanship, beauty, and that juicy tone you’ve been after!!
We take great pride that our djembe drums are environmentally friendly. Each drum is made from legally harvested/Government inspected and certified Mahogany.
Size:
Please note that each drum is hand-carved, by master carvers, and sizes will tend to slightly fluctuate. No two drums are exactly alike which makes each one a unique work of art.
24" Tall x 12" Head
