Toca Freestyle Djembe Drum Test and Demo high on a roof with Michael Pluznick

[starmanskye]

The purist in me resents the plasticality of a synthetic percussion instrument aspiring towards the wood-and-skin, rope-and-steel traditional spirit-essence character of a djembe. But close my eyes and the 'heart' of the drummer breathes soul into this instrument making my spirit sing.

Still prefer the 'real' thang howsumever ...

[almatungo]

mmm no, I'm not on this sound



[ofirharlev]

I expected much worse. not so bad actually, depending on how much it costs of course

[vivitar45]

my buddy has one of these drums but dont leave it out in the sun or car on a hot day it will melt out or shape but i wonder how would the man made drum head would sound on a wood drum

[timonlee2033]

I don't like the sound of that.

[trevorgeorgeuk]

@timonlee2033 . . . . Tim, listen to it through good quality headphones. It makes a heck of a difference. I don't think Michael would have put the video up, if he wasn't happy with the way it sounds. He's got too much honour to do a paid Advert for something he doesn't approve of.

I wish I could hit mine like that and not have to munipulate a pop from it. My highes definately don't sound like that. Mine is an LP aspire.
