Schlagwerk Yambu Travel Solo Drum

The Yambu Travel Solo is distinctive because of the interesting Black Eyes design on its playing surface, and also because of its higher pitch. Since the Travel Solo's pitch lies above other yambus and/or conga sets, it can be considered a solo instrument.

As the name implies, the Travel Solo is easy to travel with. The resonance box is made of seven layers of alder wood, while the playing surface consists of a Black Eyes design veneer. Due to its size, sound, and unique design, it is an ideal travel companion!

Schlagwerk's yambu drum series unites new instrument shapes with the traditional sound of the Cuban cajon. The wooden striking surface reacts as flexibly as a conventional drum skin. The octagonal shape of the yambu is very player-friendly, and has a positive influence on the character of the drum's resonance. Additionally, the resonance box has a natural finish that lets the beauty of the wood show through.

Schlagwerk's attention to detail, skilled craftsmanship, and innovation are reflected in all their products. Their yambus are no exception. For more than 25 years, Schlagwerk Percussion has been intensively developing their products, which have gained worldwide recognition. The instruments that belong to the cajon family (cajones, cajintos, and yambus) enchant us with soft wooden playing surfaces and produce all the nuances of modern percussion sounds, ranging from high, assertive characteristics to voluminous bass sounds.

The Yambu Travel Solo is a professional, unique, and versatile drum that can be used in many musical settings. This is an awesome drum that any drummer or percussionist would greatly enjoy playing and owning.

The Yambu Travel Solo can be played by holding it between the knees while sitting, or it can be mounted on a stand. The optional yambu floor stand provides a secure base for playing. Please see our listing for the yambu floor stand.
