What does THAT mean? Of course they're a real djembe! Just, you know, made completely out of synthetic materials...
What else would you want to use a djembe for, to fill in for a drum set on a quiet gig? Ha ha ha...please...
I've played a couple that have pleasing open tones, but for the most part, I haven't played any that encompass a good slap, open, and bass tone all in one. I'm not completely dismissing them as "crap", just speaking comparably to djembes made in West Africa...
Your point is unclear to me, Caddy. You seem to be taking me to task for suggesting that the Remo products aren't "real" djembes, then saying the same thing yourself.
I make no pretense of expertise or authority here, but I do think I have enough experience to have a valid opinion.
Can you boil it down for me, real simple? Where have I gone wrong?
