Description

Essential Information About the Freestyle Djembe "Mat Ocean Blue" SFDJ-14OB



  • Power and projection of a large 14" format for deep bass and sharp slaps that cut through the mix.

  • Selected goat skin for an authentic timbre, rich in nuances and dynamics.

  • Lightweight and robust plastic shell: ideal for outdoor use, resistant to humidity and temperature variations.

  • Reliable and durable rope tuning for precise adjustment over time.



Historical Context and Positioning in the Range


The "Freestyle" concept is inspired by traditional West African djembes while adopting modern materials. This approach aims for mobility, durability, and consistent sound, where wood might react to climate changes. At 14", the SFDJ-14OB ranks among the top portable djembe sizes, designed for group settings and stage use.



Who This Djembe Is For


Designed for intermediate to advanced percussionists, it suits drum circle leaders, teachers, educational workshops, and traveling musicians. Its versatility appeals in African music, world, folk, acoustic pop, and any situation seeking an organic pulse and a large volume reserve.



Features and Innovations


The lightweight plastic shell reduces carrying fatigue while offering excellent shock resistance. The non-slip rubber base stabilizes the instrument and protects floors. The rope tuning system ensures even and lasting tension, facilitating quick retuning before performances. The goat skin, chosen for its quick response, provides great expressiveness in playing.



Sound Characteristics


The natural goat skin delivers a deep, enveloping bass, singing tones, and dry slaps with very clear definition. The 14" diameter increases the air column, resulting in superior projection and a generous low register, ideal for leading an ensemble.


The synthetic shell contributes to the stability of timbre and tuning, regardless of climatic conditions. The instrument responds with a clear attack, controlled sustain, and wide dynamics, conducive to contrasts between accompaniment and solos.
