The Remo DJ-6012-70 is an apex djembe, with a 12" skyndeep black goat stripe head, and a plastic body, with a black finish. With the Apex Djembes from Remo, a new chapter in the Percussion world is being written. The best possible sound quality with optimal playability has been brought together by Remo in this instrument. It is also extremely low-weight and easy to transport. The synthetic Skyndeep Black Goat head Stripe is secured to the body with a premium steel hoop and offers reliable tuning and an extremely dynamic sound spectrum. To control the overtones and to achieve a dry and focused sound, a small, removable foam patch is placed under the head. The use of plastic makes the Apex Djembes extremely robust and it easily withstands rough handling.
