The Festival Timbau is designed with a lightweight environmentally recycled drum shell and a carefree replaceable Fliptop Pre-Tuned synthetic drumhead that eliminates the need for tuning or concern for weather. This unique design produces a professional quality sound with essential bass tones, slap and open tones, while being very easy on the hands. The Festival Djembe is recommended by facilitators and educators as the ideal alternative to the more expensive and higher maintenance traditional drums with rawhide heads.
