Toca - Freestyle Accord par Corde Autumn Day 12"

With its 12-inch diameter, this version of the Freestyle Rope Tuned is aimed at percussionists looking for a more pronounced sound base, without sacrificing playing comfort or ease of transport. The wider format naturally provides more bass and enhanced projection, ideal for drum circles, group performances or percussion ensembles where the djembe needs to take centre stage.

The lightweight plastic body remains true to the Freestyle spirit. It guarantees excellent sturdiness while maintaining a low weight, making it easy to move around frequently and play for long sessions. Unlike traditional wooden drums, this material provides appreciable sound stability, with little sensitivity to variations in temperature or humidity, a significant advantage for outdoor practice.

The hand-selected goatskin plays an essential role in the instrument's sonic character. It offers a wide dynamic response, with deep bass, well-defined mids and accurate highs. This versatility allows the djembe to fit naturally into a variety of configurations, from intuitive group playing to more structured patterns.

The string tuning system allows you to adjust the tension gradually and intuitively. It allows you to fine-tune the djembe's response according to the style of playing you're looking for, favouring either roundness or a sharper attack. The non-slip rubberised underside improves stability on the floor and protects the drum, making for comfortable, safe playing.
