I got this tambourine a short while ago, and it was worth every penny. It is built extremely strong so you don't have to worry about breaking it unless you run over it with a tank. Its also VERY loud, almost too loud for recording but in the end I'd rather have it loud than not being loud enough.

For a tambourine, this thing is pretty versatile. I mean you can even put it on your foot and play it. My guitarist can mnow use it! Give props to Pulse on this one. Nice, smooth sound, Indestructable, technological, a bargain! You just can't go wrong with this tambourine!

I own about 40 of these tambourines. I use them in a church youth group, the kids beat on them and jump on them. To date there has not been a single malfunction or breakage of any type. We use them to rap on tone blocks with no problems.

The cons: not enough sustain and dull tone. The pros: wonderful value, gets the job done, sturdy design. You decide...how much are you willing to spend on a tambourine?!

It's extremely loud and has a really clean sound. It does almost everything you could want a tambourine to do. Both me and a friend compared it to some other ones we had and we both agreed that this one sounded better. If I ever lose this one I'll probably try and pick up the same kind again.
