The Djembe icon draws a percussion instrument at a believable footprint instead of a placeholder box. On a stage plot it sets a realistic mic count for a position that is almost never generic, which is what lets a venue crew read the plan in a single pass.
Place it, rotate it, and give it a label that matches the language your crew already uses. The export keeps all of it.
Stage position is the thing that gets argued about at load in, so it is worth drawing accurately. Percussion sits stage right or stage left of the kit, close enough to lock in with the drummer and far enough away to keep mic bleed manageable. If the room forces a compromise, move the icon and export again. A fresh PDF is cheap; an argument at load in is not.
One thing worth writing down. Percussion rigs need more stands than anyone expects. Count short booms straight off the drawing before the truck is packed.
Djembe produces one channel on the input list, defaulting to a Dynamic input, a short boom stand and phantom power off. It sorts at position 2 in the drums first, vocals last channel order that front of house engineers expect. Change any of it per plot; the default just means you rarely have to.
The input list behind the plot exports as a Behringer X32 or Midas M32 scene file, a Behringer Wing scene, or CSV channel names for Allen and Heath dLive, Avantis, and SQ, DiGiCo, and Yamaha CL and QL desks. See the console guides.
