The Pura 12" Djembe Drum is an excellent choice for beginner musicians, adult learners, and older teens ready to explore traditional hand drumming. Handcrafted in Bali, Indonesia, each drum features a natural goatskin head and a solid wood body for powerful resonance and authentic tone. With its larger playing surface and improved depth, this mid-sized djembe offers a satisfying balance of playability and sound projection—perfect for drum circles, music classes, or personal practice.

Visually striking with its hand-painted dot design, every Pura Djembe is one-of-a-kind, making it both an instrument and a piece of art. Unlike the smaller 8" variant designed for kids, this 12" version provides a more refined sound and a sturdier, more ergonomic feel for older players. Whether you're learning rhythms, joining group sessions, or simply jamming at home, this drum offers an engaging, screen-free experience that supports creativity, coordination, and stress relief. Please note: due to its handmade nature, each drum’s design may vary—authenticity and charm guaranteed.
