Pearl Rope Tuned PVC Ashiko Drum #683 (Artisan Sunset Cypress)

Pearl's Rope Tuned PVC Ashiko is constructed using PVC for its light and durable characteristics and also for its warm, round, full body sound. The origin of Ashiko drums can be traced back to West Africa and the Yoruba tribe. The Ashiko is a close relative to the djembe and its sound is complementary to the djembe when played together in drum circles or ensembles. The long tapered cylinder of the Ashiko produces lower bass notes than djembes, with rich mid-tones. The 1-piece PVC shell features 21 tuning points and a 10" tucked collar synthetic head. Standing 23.5" tall, the shell is finished in #682 Artisan Amber Cypress and includes a rubber bottom edge protector.

Pearl's Rope-Tuned Ashikos are constructed from PVC and decorated with hand-painted artisan finishes. 

Care Guide: Pearl's Rope-Tuned Ashikos feature a synthetic shell that is subject to react to extremely hot conditions. Refrain from prolonged exposure to temperatures at or above 122°F / 50°C. Failure to do so may result in damage to the instrument. For the utmost care, we recommend a moderate, stable climate suitable for humans.
