It's a really well made drum,feels good to play on it and you can hear the good resonance of the sound being made by 1 single piece of wood BUT you have to be aware that it has small diameter so for big hands might be difficult to play on it and it's very high tuned,even when I opened all "diamond" knots,still sounds so high that someone thought it's a darbuka. That's my only warnings, otherwise it's a nice piece of a drum ^^
