Introducing the Percussion Plus World Slap Djembe rope tuned education packs

The new generation of Percussion Plus’ mega-popular Slap Djembes is here! Manufactured in the world’s premier Djembe factory in Bali, these fantastic educational drums are more durable, resonant and vibrant than ever. With their instructive drumheads, robust construction and range of sizes these Slap Djembe packs make for an easy and highly convenient addition to any music education setting. This pack, featuring the larger djembes within the range, is great for groups of older students looking to practice playing together and better their djembe skills, with the brilliant Andy Gleadhill’s Slap Djembe book thrown in too!

Designed to stand the test of time in classroom environments, the strong yet lightweight design amplifies their accessibility without compromising on sound; the booming bass acts as a foundation, with crisp slaps and deep resonant tones providing the exciting variety that makes these djembes ideal for group music lessons, especially in secondary schools. These particular sets also encourages students to learn about the intricate and fascinating rope tuning process!

These rope tuned World Slap Djembe packs are perfect KS3 & KS4 students and adult drum circles to level up their playing. The 12 pack features only the two largest, most sonorous djembes in the range (10” and 12”), while the 16 pack also offers a couple of higher pitched 8” models to add a little extra to your ensemble’s texture. They are fantastic tools for SEND learning, Whole Class Ensemble Teaching (WCET) and can even be used as part of CPD programmes for teachers looking to develop their musical options and skills!

Immaculate construction in leading Bali factory

These World Slap Djembes are now made in a superb world-leading djembe manufacturing facility in Bali. Each drum is subject to rigorous quality control and features a sophisticated one-piece body construction. This ensures a lively and consistent sound, a sleek profile, and enhanced durability. The lightweight, sturdy construction is an essential benefit for constant use in education. Plus, the rubber-coated base prevents slipping, crucial for the physical demands of playing.

An innovative teaching tool

Slap Djembes are not only sturdy and attractive but also provide great teaching aids. The screen-printed, instructional drumheads make classroom music teaching that bit easier by showing students exactly where they need to hit the drum to make different sounds. This helps to speed up the learning process, allowing more time to focus on rhythm, ensemble, dynamics and other musical elements.

Comes with Andy Gleadhill’s Slap Djembe book

Whether you are a percussion expert or have never taught music before, Andy Gleadhill's Slap Djembe is the best introduction to playing and teaching the djembe, and it comes included with all our Slap Djembe packs! Utilising innovative, accessible notation this award-winning resource features 15 rhythms from around the globe with insightful performance notes and 10 weekly lessons that can be applied to any tune in the book. That's 150 lessons, planned for you!

What’s more, a raft of additional content is available for FREE on the Percussion Plus website, including video and guides, whiteboard-compatible resources and a full PDF of the book, all designed specifically for the classroom. Click HERE to find out more.

Durable Mylar drum head

The Mylar drum head is precisely tensioned for optimal resonance, offering exceptional durability for even the most energetic players. Mylar is an extremely robust material, often used in aerospace engineering; for drum heads it provides excellent all-weather protection, resisting excessive stretching, humidity, and temperature fluctuations. This helps prevent tuning issues and keeps the head from drying out over time, ensuring a consistent and true sound. Superb production values like this make the World Slap Djembes the pinnacle in educational and sustainable drumming, supporting hundreds of lessons over many years to come.

Striking, multicultural design

The ‘World’ design embodies the inclusive spirit of djembe drumming and of Percussion Plus' ethos. Inspired by Andy Gleadhill's Slap Djembe, the map-style sarong-wrapped shell immerses students in a multicultural learning experience. It’s visually striking too, with many flags providing great colourful diversity atop a deep blue oceanic background that looks great in any lighting.



A djembe for every scenario

These djembe packs are available either pre-tuned (incredibly lightweight and convenient) or rope tuned (more adaptable and traditional), allowing you to select the right type of drum for your circumstances. Better still, they come in a variety of sizes. 6", 7", 8", 10" and 12". Read more about the different djembe tuning methods on our Teacher Hub.

This size selection has the extra benefit of adding variety to the soundscape of your Djembe circle, producing an extensive mix of pitches and dynamics to engage the entire ensemble, and ensuring that there's a suitable option for players of all sizes too!

How to play the Slap Djembe

The design on the drumhead shows examples of hand positions that can be employed to obtain a fabulous variety of tones from the drum, from punchy bass to cracking highs. When you hit the skin, let your hand bounce back allowing the sound to ring.



The area in the centre of the drum produces a warm and full bass tone. To play a good bass, the djembe must be struck in the middle of the drumhead with the hand slightly cupped, palm down, and returning quickly from the drum. Use your whole arm and pretend that you are bouncing a basketball; this will result in the perfect action for playing good bass tones!


Bass demo



Straighten all your fingers at the same time. Aim to strike the drum so that the joint where your fingers meet your hand (at the first knuckle) is at the rim of the drum. Think of your hand as an extension of your arm and remember not to keep it on the drum, but to let it bounce back from the drumhead as soon as you’ve played the note. This will produce a clear, ringing ‘tone’, with good projection.


Tone demo



This is played around the edge of the drum. Relax your hand and arm and hit the drum with a slapping motion. Spread your fingers out slightly when you strike the edge of the drum for a whipping crack sound. For an even more distinctive and muted slap, hold one hand down in the middle of the drum in the bass position, while simultaneously playing the slap tone on the edge of the drum.

As described
Color: Black
Light weight, easy to put together and you can disconnect the ends and just roll the whole thing nice and tight for quick out of the way storage. Pretty sturdy, doesn't fall over if you bump into it, you could use it outside but if there's a lot of light you can see through a tiny bit if you're really close but I only tested this indoors so not sure about patio types

Beautiful, sturdy, lightweight.

This screen is beautiful, lightweight and well-made. There is no splintering of the wood like I read in some reviews. The white fabric is thick and sturdy and even. The brass hinges seem to be high quality and were mounted precisely. This screen came right out of the box completely assembled. It was boxed well and there was no shipping damage. I will enjoy using this as a backdrop when I am on Zoom and as a room divider in my studio. I paid $75 for this and I think that is a bargain! I am very happy with this purchase.

Beautiful
Color: Natual, Pattern Name: Divider
Okay now! This is exactly what i needed. Perfect and no assembly required. Love the smell of the bamboo wood. Lightweight and very portable and great size. Ran around town all day the other day and for nothing that wasnt more expensive and just plain ugly. This is absolutely beautiful and well worth the money and it looks beautiful. What is depicted is exactly correct and that’s why there is no need to post another photo.

Nice panels to hide unsightly areas
Color: Black, Pattern Name: Divider
These are nice panels with a modern look to hide those unsightly places in your basement or utility areas and still allow ready access. Used mine in our large laundry room to block the view of the furnace and water heater in lieu of building a wall. The black and white basic pattern blended well with the walls and white appliances and improves the casual look of the room. I would not call construction overly rigid as they will not stand up to rough treatment or childrens areas well.
