Introducing the Percussion Plus Slap djembe - djun djun
Djembe groups and circles are a popular activity in schools, music hubs, festivals, and your local community centre. Nothing matches the joy of making music together and these classes are not only great as music education for youngsters, but also as a fun and therapeutic activity for all ages.
The djun djun is the bass voice of the djembe ensemble, serving as the rhythmic backbone of the ensemble and underpinning the more complex, syncopated rhythms of the smaller drums. Beyond its musical role, the djun djun holds cultural significance in West African societies, often being used in ceremonies and celebrations as a means of communication and cultural expression.
It can be worn over one shoulder and played in either a sitting or standing position, typically with a pair of beaters. It produces a booming bass tone, and can be played with or without a beater.
Please note: this does not come with a beater. If you require beaters, consider purchasing a pair of PP287 or PP134 beaters, depending on your playing style.
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.
