The Sympatico Nesting Ashiko offers an innovative design that lets you explore West African-inspired rhythms in comfort. Its PVC shell creates a resonant chamber that amplifies the pre-tuned fiber head, allowing you to play complex polyrhythms while seated. The conical shape projects sound in all directions, ideal for drum circles and group playing. An adjustable shoulder strap provides hands-free mobility so you can dance as you drum.

Resonant, Projecting Sound

The nesting ashiko's hollow PVC body resonates as you play, enhancing the volume and tone of the pre-tuned fiber head. You'll achieve a warm, rich sound with long sustain that carries. The conical shape disperses sound broadly, allowing others to clearly hear your rhythms. Play with confidence knowing this ashiko cuts through ambient noise.

Comfortable, Versatile Design

Unlike traditional ashikos, this model has an ergonomic shape that lets you play seated or standing. The shoulder strap leaves your hands free to explore complex techniques and polyrhythms. Its medium 12" size provides a balance of portability and projection suitable for any setting. Use it for dance, education, wellness or recreation—the Sympatico ashiko adapts to your needs.

High-Quality Components

The pre-tuned fiber head has a synthetic material that maintains pitch and tone. It's securely fitted to the PVC shell, which is lightweight yet durable. All parts are tightly sealed and weather-resistant. The components work together harmoniously to deliver an organic, resonant sound. You'll enjoy this high-performing ashiko for years of rhythmic adventures.
