The main sounds produced by the djembe are bass, tone and slap. Bass is a low-pitched note played in the centre of the drum. Tone, a medium-pitched sound, is made by striking the djembe skin right at the edge. Finally, slap is the most technically challenging sound of the djembe: a high-pitched note played near the edge of the djembe skin, it is similar to ‘tone’ but the hand is positioned slightly further towards the centre of the drum skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"description-block\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2858\/8212\/files\/Desc_4.jpg?v=1770119771\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv class=\"text\"\u003e\n        \u003ch2\u003eCultural significance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eOriginating in West Africa, djembes have been a key part of spiritual traditions and rituals for generations. Djembe players are an integral part of African communities, and their role includes storytelling, communication with other tribes and entertainment. Passing on cultural, religious and historical information from generation to generation is also involved in their performances. Djembes are traditionally played at celebratory events such as festivals, marriages and birth ceremonies, and these rituals are accompanied by singing and dancing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"Percussion Plus","offers":[{"title":"A1","offer_id":55040746553731,"sku":"JBD-15PK","price":408.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2858\/8212\/files\/JBD-15PK_5e153b0a-d70c-47e0-83c9-b64205607395.jpg?v=1770223628","url":"https:\/\/www.chamberlainmusic.com\/products\/percussion-plus-jbd-15pk-djembe-15-player-pack","provider":"Chamberlain Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
