A Big Hit!

Djembes are becoming ever popular with classes starting up in schools, music hubs, 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.

Slap Djembes come with a wealth of features making them easy to play, transport, and most importantly giving them a great sound. A great design, well-tuned drum head and durable construction – everything you need for your group sessions, performances, and demonstrations.

Let’s Play Together

How To Play

The design on the drum head shows where the hand should strike the drum in order to obtain a fabulous variety of tones, 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. Aim to strike the drum so that the joint where your fingers join your hand (at the first knuckle) is at the rim of the drum. Think of your hand as a straight extension of your arm, and you should get a solid ‘thud’ sound.

The Slap

Played around the edge of the drum. Relax your hand and arm, and hit the drum with a slap-like motion. Spread your fingers out slightly when they strike the edge of the djembe.

Tailor your teaching and learning

Build your own ensemble

All djembes are supplied tuned and ready to play from the box. The durable polyester heads also provide a tactile playing surface for an authentic feel.

With a range of sizes available in both the pre-tuned and rope tension models, you can create your own school or social ensemble with various voices. The more drummers you have, the more impressive the resulting sound!

Hands-on Drumming

Learn as you play

Slap Djembes from Percussion Plus are great looking high-quality instruments with an innovative ‘how to play’ guide printed on the drum skin. The printed graphic on the head of the drum teaches the 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.
