I was bummed out - it sounded great, really pure at medium tension, almost like a full double head 10" tom (way meatier than my 10" roto). If they made 12, 14 & 16 I'd buy them for sure for a killer compact traveler! But I wanted a compact timbale for a reggae vibe and it has no timbale like qualities whatsoever, even at higher tension. Needs a thinner head maybe? Still cool though and a great value I think.
Thisdrum was a waste of my money. It doesn't sound like a timbale should ad doesn't come with the right head for a timbale.A BIG mistake. I would say DONT purchase this!!
