How to Tune a Remo Djembe

Remo djembes are my absolute favorites and it's important to know how to tune them when new and also after at least 6 months of use. ♥️

What makes a Remo djembe ease to tune is the lack of ropes and presence of the key-tuned system. All new drums come with tuning key included so you can start tightening up those bolts immediately. 🫡

With a new drum, choose any single point (the bolt) and tighten it a few times. Then go to the opposite position from that point and repeat the tightening process.

With a drum that's been used for a while, you can go one by one (clockwise or opposite) by just tightening a bolt and then the one next to it etc, until you're satisfied with the result of the sound.
