Medium Pro Djembe Drum – Soul Sound (low) – Medium 40cm (18cm Diia)

A medium hand-carved djembe drum in the Soul Sound (low) tuning, standing 40 cm tall with an 18 cm goatskin head. Same construction and materials as the Freedom Rhythm counterpart — see the Large Freedom Rhythm description for the full foundational content on djembe history, construction, and the Pro Djembe range. Soul Sound at Medium Size The Medium Soul Sound produces a warmer, rounder tone than the Medium Freedom Rhythm, with more emphasis on bass depth and sustain and less on sharp, projecting slaps. At 40 cm, it does not reach the chest-resonating bass depth of the Large Soul Sound — the smaller internal air volume limits how low the bass can go — but it carries a noticeably warmer, more meditative quality than the same size in Freedom Rhythm tuning. Think of it as the portable version of the Soul Sound voice: warm enough for solo practice and sound-healing contexts, compact enough to carry to a class or session. The Medium Soul Sound is particularly well suited to players who want the deeper tuning but need the drum to be practical in terms of size and weight. If you love the idea of the Large Soul Sound but your living space, transport, or physical comfort argues for something smaller, this is the compromise that sacrifices the least. Physical Details Height: 40 cm. Head diameter: 18 cm. Body: hand-carved jackfruit wood, single piece. Head: natural goatskin. Tuning: polyester rope system with metal rings (lower tension — Soul Sound profile). Base: rubber foot. Finish: carved geometric pattern (Soul Sound visual identity). Made in Indonesia. A Note on Gifting If you know the recipient is interested in meditation, mindfulness, sound healing, or yoga, and you want a drum that reflects that interest without being physically overwhelming, the Medium Soul Sound is the most thoughtful choice. It says "I understand what you are drawn to" — the deeper, warmer tuning aligns with contemplative practice — while being practical enough to fit into a real life.
