FREE Drum Bag with Purchase! You are bidding on one PROFESSIONAL deep carved Pro 3 Ring Djembe Drum - Ruby/Cherry Diamond African Style Geometric Carving. The 3 ring system is a superior method for skinning a djembe, and preferred among professional hand drummers. The 3 ring system is more stable, and grips the skin much better, thereby preventing skin slippage under super tightly tuned conditions (for a full understanding how the 3 ring system works, see diagram picture posted below). When these drums come off the production line they are graded as #1 and #2 grade. #1 grade are unblemished and sold on Ebay at higher cost (see our other ebay auction listings), and wholesale to retail music stores, while #2 grade are sold at music festivals, and online auction venues such as Ebay at major discounts. So you are probably wondering what type of blemishes make a drum qualify as #2 grade?? Blemishes can consist of wood knots, areas filled in with wood filler and stained over, scratches, stains, dents, symmetry irregularities particularly at the bearing edge, non-intrusive fissures, translucent spotted skins, size variances that don't meet the exact dimension criteria standard of 24x12, etc. etc., but nothing major.......these are all decent performing drums for the price, and you absolutely cannot go wrong - I would not risk my selling reputation on selling these if I did not think these drums are decent quality performing instruments. These drums are made of one-piece construction Plantation Mahogany, and measure between 25 - 26 inches tall, with an overall diameter varying between 14 - 15 inches at their widest point, and a playing surface diameter of approximately 13 inches give or take a half an inch. These drums are roped tight with 5mm non-stretch internally braided alpine climbing rope, and with a total of 35 rope runner pairs (70 total laterals) - an excellent pro standard. IMPORTANT: See picture diagram below for rope quality comparison between our djembe drums and the competition. Each drum comes equipped with a braided handle at the neck of the drum, which can be untied/unraveled and used as tuning rope should the need for Mali Weave tuning arise, or extra tuning rope wrapped around the neck of the drum for your tuning convenience. Goat skin from the back of the goat is used - the thickest portion of the overall skin. Many skins have a beautiful mottled appearance and a subtle line down the middle of the skin indicating where the goats back bone was once situated. Pictures serve as example of what this particular design drum looks like, and what you can reasonably expect to receive. These drums have big boomin' bass, and crisp slap tones, making them great lead drums. There is clear distinction between bass, open and slap tones, and finger touches. On average, these drums weighed on a freshly calibrated Aculab SV-100 digital scale are ranging between 12 - 16 lbs. - Not bad for drums this size, making them relatively easy to lug around. In #1 Quality condition I sell these drums for $350 - $399 each at music festivals depending on the venue, and $249 - $299 each in #2 quality condition. Therefore, with a starting bid price of $167 and a "Buy it Now" price of $185 you are getting an excellent deal on a PROFESSIONAL 3 RING DJEMBE DRUM, particularly with ONE FREE DRUM BAG. FREE drum bag is nicely padded on top, sides, and bottom to protect your drum investment throughout. Equipped with circular zippered top, and elastic neck band for a proper fit. Also equipped with adjustable back back style shoulder straps. Drum bag colors will vary.
