Toca Freestyle II Mechanically Tuned 12" Djembe - Thinker

The Toca Freestyle II Mechanically Tuned 12" Djembe – Thinker is built for players who live in drum circles, jam sessions, and long grooves that don’t stop when the weather turns. Lightweight, tough, and easy to tune, it’s the kind of drum you can grab, go, and play anywhere without fussing over maintenance.

Features

This Freestyle II djembe is all about real-world practicality with inspiring sound. The all-weather synthetic head eliminates stretching, drying, or losing pitch, so you’re not chasing tuning every time the temperature or humidity changes. The mechanically tuned system lets you dial in your sound quickly and reliably, whether you’re after tight, cutting slaps or a more open, breathing tone for ensemble work.

Despite its full 12" head and 24" height, it stays easy on the shoulder thanks to its lightweight construction, making it a strong choice for players who move between circles, classes, and gigs. The protective nonslip rubber bottom keeps it stable on the floor, so it stays put when you dig in. Finished in Toca’s distinctive red mask design, it stands out visually as much as it does sonically.

Tone

This drum delivers higher, crisp slaps that cut through the mix with clarity, paired with deeper bass tones that feel big and grounded. The combination gives you a wide, expressive palette: articulate hand patterns up top, and a satisfying low-end thump when you hit the sweet spot in the center. It responds quickly under the hands and feels ready for everything from subtle textures to driving, pulse-heavy grooves.
