The year 2010 marks the fifth anniversary of Toca's Freestyle djembe series. These innovative drums continue to be Toca's best selling djembes because of their sound, their lightweight feel, and their professional-level quality.
To celebrate this milestone, Toca has created the limited edition 5th Anniversary Freestyle 14" Djembe (SFDMX-14GSB). Simply put, this is a drum like no other drum been seen before. Over 70% of the seamless synthetic shell is covered with a beautiful glass inlay designed by local craftsmen on the island of Bali. The top and bottom portion of the drum is hand-painted with an embossed Red Metallic finish. The rim and tuning rods are finished in a subtle black powder coating. The overall result is one of the most stunning works of visual art ever applied to a musical instrument.
As beautiful as it is, however, the 5th Anniversary Freestyle Djembe is far from just a showpiece. In keeping with its Freestyle series heritage, it's a high-quality, professional-level drum. Along with its resonant synthetic shell, it features an extended-collar hoop for maximum tone range, and a lightweight but efficient bolt-tension system for easy and consistent tuning. A synthetic head is stretched over a smooth, curved bearing edge that allows for comfortable feel when playing the drum.
Toca's 5th Anniversary Freestyle Djembe is sold with a free heavy-duty protective bag to preserve its beauty, at a list price of $399. With its unique appearance and professional performance qualities, this limited edition drum is sure to become a collector's item.
