Traditional djembes are roped tuned and that tuning method requires considerable experience. Pearl's Top Tuned djembes makes tuning your drum easy with a hoop and lug system that works like other acoustic drums.

Care Guide: Pearl Top Tune Djembe drums feature a synthetic shell that is subject to react to extremely hot conditions. Refrain from prolonged exposure to temperatures at or above 122°F / 50°C. Failure to do so may result in damage to the instrument. For the utmost in care, we recommend a moderate stable climate suitable for humans.

What a combination. The extra-wide version of the Hybrid has just the right mix of Phosphor Bronze and Stainless Steel all calibrated exactly for a fast, fat tone.

From the metal innovators at SABIAN comes a new secret formula for great snare tone. The Hybrid model uses what we call a 6-8-6 blend. That special blend utilizes differences both in metal and wire wind density to deliver the exact sound desired. The two sixes in the 6-8-6 combination is six phosphor bronze strands on the outsides of the Hybrid 20. These strands are made from a special B8 phosphor bronze formulated just for snares. Those strands are wound with an especially tight wind, which delivers additional snare-to-drum head contact. Resulting in a crisp tight attack from these strands. The “8” in the 6-8-6 blend is for the eight strands of high-carbon stainless steel found in the center of this great snare wire. The steel naturally produces a fatter tone that is less staccato when compared to the bronze wire. This is augmented by the use of a larger wind, which increases the space between winds and reduces snare-to-head contact. Blending together the specially manufactured wires gives the SABIAN Hybrid Custom Snare Wires a unique natural EQ effect making it easier to get that perfect snare tone that you are hearing in your head.
