Reviews

Fun to play!
Because of all the overtones I wasn't used to, I sat the drum on a thick rug and tapped lightly near the rim so that I could better hear the fundamental tone. Had trouble getting the tuning to hold maybe because the skin had a lot of stretching to do on this particular drum. Or maybe the whole drum was settling? It took a few weeks, but I finally got the tuning to hold and to hear her voice. Now it's a lot of fun to play. A big hank you to Steve Benton, sales engineer.
