    An awesome djembe!

    Posted by J. Cash on 20th Nov 2019

    I purchased another drum from X8, my first, that I loved the look and sound of. My drumming instructor at the time however felt it was too small for me. As a result I ended up returning that drum and after a great deal of communication, coordination and helpful guidance I ordered the X8 Pro Stallion large. What an incredible drum! Love the bass, the high tones right out of the box and the traditional design reflects a purity and quality I never expected. Could not be happier with the Pro Stallion by X8!

    I love my first Djembe!

    Posted by Michael Issac on 24th Jul 2015

    This is my very first Djembe. I'm in my 30s and have wanted to learn the Djembe for quite some time now. After speaking with one of the X8 reps on the phone, I decided to go with the Stallion. The craftsmanship is amazing. And the black mahogany is classy. The sound is loud and crisp. Even though I don't know how to play, I enjoy creating my own rhythms. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the X8 logo right in the middle of the skin. It depreciates the classy and traditional look. I would prefer it in a less conspicuous area like on the inside. Trust me, I will tell everyone it's an X8 without the visible logo.

    5 Star ***** Stallion Pro Djembe in Black!

    Posted by Boston Monty on 8th Jul 2015

    I'd been eyeballing this drum for about a year, luckily, although it had just been discontinued as a package, I called and there was still a 13.5" for me! This drum met two of my criteria: it's black and has a 13.5 head. I got this drum in perfect order, well tuned and playable right out of the box and in time for a workshop I was taking the next day. Art at X8 Drums was super and processed my order quickly and was very personable. I appreciated the CD that was included regarding tuning and the bass, tone, slap introductory lesson. My Djembe instructor, a pretty well known woman's world music percussionist, checked-out the drum and said it sounded very good and it was a great deal with the heavy duty bag included. So I would have to say, this drum was worth taking my time to vet out and decide upon. I am trilled to have it, and after playing it for an hour and a half, with no hurting hands, I'm looking forward to lots more play, workshops and drum circles. X8 made the transaction very smooth as communications with them is easy. ps, I like the speckled goatskin head and the bag is super with extra room for other gear etc.

    My husband is being deployed, and this drum will be going with him. I was a little skeptical making a purchase from the Internet at first, but I am so happy I did. Thank you for your service, X8 Drums! The sound and the drum are beauuuuty-full! May you always play the song in your heart. One Love. All Love, Colleen Kirkpatrick I'll be happy to send you a video or sound clip of him playing overseas if you would like!

    This was a present for our granddaughter who is in her senior year at college studying music therapy. She LOVED the drum. The sound is wonderful and she was thrilled to have such a wonderful addition to her instruments for her music therapy.

    Great service, great drum

    Posted by JR on 30th Jul 2014

    Although this is my first djembe, I am an experienced drummer and bongocero so I wanted a high quality instrument without breaking the bank. The X-8 website is great--very informative and user friendly--the prices are great; shipping was very fast and the djembe fully met my expectations.
