The Djembe drum was not likely crafted and tested indoors and the Meinl Journey Series 12" Rope Tuned Fiberglass Djembe was produced with this in mind. This ultra light weatherproof djembe is made from premium fiberglass is equipped with synthetic heads that produce the classic djembe sound - a fat bass to rich open tones and cutting slaps. An all-weather drum, but storage indoors is recommended.
