Toca Freestyle Mechanically Tuned Djembe:
Black Mamba Series
Begin
with a seamless bowl, unimpeded in resonance and shaped to produce an abundance
of dramatic lows and highs. Combine it with unobtrusive, low-mass mechanical
hardware (as opposed to traditional rope tensioning), which trims the profile
and further enhances resonance. Make it lightweight for transport to drum
circles on public transit, and durable if the bus shrieks to a stop, causing
passengers and instruments to careen. And, top it with the sort of aesthetics
that grace the Black Mamba Series: jet black finish, jet black hardware,
and specially selected goatskin heads dyed black to match. You're now within
sight of the new Toca Freestyle Mechanically Tuned Djembe, part of the reputed
Black Mamba lineup.
Aside from its wicked good looks, reliable and easy tuning, the
Toca Freestyle Mechanically Tuned Djembe, Black Mamba Series, seems
destined to emerge unscathed from crowded percussion gatherings
and collision-fraught situations. And not only does the drum yield
a remarkable frequency range but its PVC shell is virtually indestructible.
Should it encounter another drum or inert obstacle, it is equipped
with a rubber bottom and rubber tips on lugs to avoid marring and
abrasion. Each design feature conspires towards a Djembe that,
for years to come, will emit sizzling highs, solid mids and "sub-woofer
lows". In fact, the combination of features is such that the
Toca Freestyle Mechanically Tuned Djembe/Black Mamba is patent
protected. As a bonus, the largest drum, the 14" Djembe, comes
with a matching padded pro bag.
