Constructed from plantation grown mahogany and fitted with a hand selected goatskin head, this djembe produces rich, resonant bass tones and crisp slaps that fill any space.

Hand Carved Mahogany Shell Resonates with Life

The Meinl Headliner Djembe 10" features a hand carved mahogany shell made from a single piece of wood. This solid construction allows vibrations to travel unimpeded through the djembe, resulting in outstanding projection with a wide range of tones. The ripple pattern carved into the shell is not only visually striking but also provides a comfortable grip for playing between the knees, enabling percussionists to achieve a fuller, more dynamic sound.

Goatskin Head Produces Authentic Tones

Fitted with a premium goatskin head secured using traditional Mali weave rope tuning, the Meinl Headliner Djembe 10" delivers an authentic West African sound. The hand selected goatskin head is pre tuned to produce deep bass notes, cutting high tones and a range of sounds in between. Percussionists can achieve a variety of tones by striking the head at different points and with different playing techniques for a highly responsive acoustic experience.
