I had the joy to play this fine drum as part of an instrumental section for my old highschool choir. This first thing I noticed was the quality of the sound. I played the 18" and it had a very satisfying BOOM. The next thing I noticed was the variability of sound one can achieve. Experimenting with this drum will give you hours of fun, time and time again. Whether you need a drum as part of an ensemble, or just want a noise maker for your pleasure, I would highly suggest this drum.

This drum is perfect for a drum to take anywhere, if your a on the go person who hits the pow wow trail, pack this drum along with you, not something to worry about like a handmade drum, and sounds excellent! Very bassy sound when you hit the center. Harmonics jump off the head when you hit outside of the center. This drum is used by me to play "Hand Games" or some call them "Stick or Bone Games". It is a drum that will more than likely replace my current hand made drum. I won't have to worry about it getting damaged or ripped off. The "beater" is very cheesy, but its free, just toss it and use your own. The drum does not lose tone outside or in humid conditions. Oh yeah when doing "stratches" with this drum, its sounds perfect! Excellent round dance song drum too!!!

This drum is primarily used for "Handgames" so it fits the bill!
