Remo FlareOut Djembe vs. Remo Mondo Djembe

Listen to the slap and the difference in pitch!

[@premharshil]

The Mondo looks like having some round tapes under the skin, to muffle the reverb, making the sound drier, while the other one not

[@AndyPanda9]

He has about 8 dampers stuck under the head on the Mondo - that's why it sounds so dull and dry. You can tame the ring without killing the tone - that Mondo sounds way too dead.

I just bought a Remo 12" inch and I could play all Indian beats

[@donbaird3826]

Hate the ring noise. Removed it from my 12 inch remo. My 16 djembe is much better in all ways.

[@Anthonymcnamee1]

They Both sound awful compared to a real Djembe. i have a Mondo and it never gets played

[@MysteryZenSide2]

they both sound VERY sterile- no dis-respect. ...you should try hardwood / goat skin-

[@SenseofAwareness]

I agree with you completely. "artificial skin" has no capacity to vibrate at all, and I found their sound to be completely artificial. I am extremely grateful to the goat skin djembes I have.

[@buckyflex1]

I agree the mondo might feel easier to play cuz you have all that room between the top of the head & the tuning ring&brackets I enjoy that design when playing but that other drums tone was much more crisp and defined dudes right that's gonna be nice & bright within a drum circle. Only prob is u better be able to play halfway decent cuz everyone's also gonna hear any mistakes as well.lol

[@tophbocchiaro6351]

thanks for the comparison. it might help tell the difference in drums if they were tuned similarly. how is the feel of the new head?

[@SenseofAwareness]

I’ve returned the drum because of manufacturing defects. I also tried to re-fit the drum with a goatskin skin which I failed miserably hahaha

[@kgamaseg]

That Remo Mondo djembe seems to have muffling [little squares] on the head.

[@pablolorenzo8095]

The Remo Mondo Djembe on this video has a head that make It sound "cheap" if it would have a Skyn Deep head the sound would be better.

[@ジャンベジョージ]

羨ましいぐらい腕ムキムキなんよ😂ww

[@pravednik83]

Почему так сильно заметно, что человек получает кайф от музыки?! Уххх! Молодец мужик! Играй! Кайфуй!

[@moderncrack]

Yeah !!

[@MrBilgey]

lovely playing

[@snowball2488]

Do u happen to know the difference between the multi mask drum you have in this video and the Leon mobley one with the same design?

[@SenseofAwareness]

snowball2488 hey there - it’s the same drum. The only differences can appear in the type of skin. The drum body itself is a brilliant design, great product engineering. I was not happy with the drum I got because it had multiple m manufacturing defects...

[@fhatilip]

Il joue du rythmes rock sur le djembe et c'est dommage ,il devrait apprendre les rythmes d'Afrique de l'ouest, C'est plus enrichissant rythmiquement parlant

[@markpaycer6908]

Sounds like muddled garbage. Buy a real authentic djembe

[@markpaycer6908]

I would never buy a remo djembe. Remo have no projection.

[@KruzerOak]

Possibly the reason for the lack of projection is the fact that it is a nuskin head. Not sure though.

[@markpaycer6908]

Oh yea. Plus the crappy wood. You can purchase a drum for the same price, maybe a little more than 200 and get a great sounding djembe. Thw remos ring too much.

[@KruzerOak]

@@markpaycer6908 Not wood, but the sound does have that bleh overtone. I'm thinking about picking up a remo because I found a good deal and it sounded good in the shop. I can't argue with a 200$ discount.

[@markpaycer6908]

Go real wood. Mahoganey is a lower type of wood comparable to the dimba woods and lenke wood from Mali. I picked up a ebony weave djembe mahogany from Discount djembe for 170 and cant believe the sound. Trust me spend a little you wont regret it.. Remo are good drum heads not djembe skins.

[@KruzerOak]

@@markpaycer6908 Noted, thanks for the advice.

[@ballsofdoom3124]

Just ordered the Flareout! Hope the bass is as good as the Mondo series. Edit: Just got it 2 days ago. The bass is huge and the slap/tones sound incredible! I think it's better than the Mondo series Djembe.
