The Maxwell

James Clerk Maxwell, the magnificently bearded physicist and pioneer of the study of electromagnetic waves lends this djembe his name. The delicate carving and gentle profile make this a djembe that looks beautiful and sounds sharp and clean. The slaps have an interesting mix of overtones that will be be heard through large ensembles and the tones are short, dry and percussive.

The vivid blue Evo Splice rope glows under stage lights and is one of the smoothest, supplest ropes available. This djembe has been tuned with an attractive modification of the more traditional Guinea weave. Detailed instructions of how to continue this weave will be included with the djembe. Take a look at the video below to hear him in action.
