3 Djembes: Guinea, (Guinee) Mali and Bali (MP Eco Pro 13") djembe comparison Part 1

http://www.x8drums.com/Michael-Pluznick-Eco-Pro-Djembe-p/x8-eco-pro-mp.htm
This is Part 1 (playing seated) a casual non critical fun demo of 3 of my favorite djembes (all 13") diameter djembe drums. A Guinea djembe I got from my teacher Bolokada Conde, a Mali shell I picked up from a drummer in Mali when I was living there and my new MP Eco Pro 13" sustainable wood djembe from Bali. The sound is off the camera, no external mics. The MP Eco pro 13" sustainable wood djembe drum retails for 40-50% less then these drums new. You decide on the sound!
The Guinee djembe has a new skin and needs to be tuned up more. The Mali djembe has an older skin. The MP Eco Pro djembe is a prototype model still in development. This is part one playing djembe seated. Part 2 will be playing the djembes standing.

if I may coin the popular phrase, "all good" :) !

In my Opinion the Guinea-Djembé sounds best, then the Mali and then the MP Eco Pro! :)

Drums made in Africa sound way better than any other drums with name brands in America, because it is made with more heart.

All djembe have a unique sound and are all special. I have a new favorite drum every week. One that keeps coming back to my favorits is an old Senegal djembe, it weighs 30lbs but it's a monster and produces a very loud low-scream a note that is imposible to replicate.

and do you have a favorite?
