I wasn't sure which djembe to take - 12" or 14". I was looking for great bass and great highs. Today I received it, it was very well packed. I took it out and I was amazed by how good it looks (it does look attractive :) ) and even more - how good sound it produces!! I am a music producer and have been playing music for more than 15 years and I've never played djembe that sounds THIS good!
The package even includes Remo sound Control dot and ring, to get even better sound if we hate 'that Remo ringing'. For now I don't need it, djembe sounds great!! I am so happy I bought it. Even tuning will be a piece of cake now. This instrument just sounds right.
If I'd taken the 14" Remo Mondo djembe, it would be too huge for me. This 12" is just perfect for my ears .
Playability is great. This djembe has the feel I was looking for many years.
And for those who are listening all the audio files and cannot decide - BUY THIS DJEMBE! Those audio examples sound really bad and nowhere near the real deal.
AND THE BEST PART -
I got a djembe whose skin is DARK GREEN!!! I don't know if other people have got the same, but I LOVE it!
