Playing traditional African hand drums is something that feels good, and that feeling is intensified whenever we get to participate in drum circles or other events. Hauling our drums around is no big deal. That’s one of the great benefits of African hand drums, they are very, very portable. But there is the issue of the weather. Sometimes the weather can affect the heads of traditional African djembes. If it’s too hot, wet or cold, there is a greater likelihood of the heads getting out of tune and stopping us from participating in an outdoor drum circle or other drumming event. As a drummer who wants to be ready whenever there is a chance to play, you don’t want to spend your time twisting a bunch of ropes like on a traditional wood djembe, to get the pitch you like. There is also the potential problem of wooden drum shells getting dinged or scratched if you are constantly moving them from one place to another.

Enter the key-tuned fiberglass African djembe hand drum. Many modern day musical instruments can be successfully made out of synthetic materials like fiberglass. African djembes are one of them. Key tuned fiberglass African djembes have a metal rim that fits around the head and is secured to the body using metal tuning hooks. Many beginning African djembe drum players seek the mechanical tuning system and fiberglass body because it is relatively easy to understand and cuts down on tuning time -- just grab the wrench and begin tightening the bolts found on each tuning hook as you go around the drum head. Tightening the bolts will tighten the skin thus pitching up your sound. The fiberglass body is made to withstand the weather or the kind of rough and tumble use it gets as a student drum.
