kmise Tank Percussion Instrument with Drum Mallets Carry Bag Music Book (MI3035)

I love everything about this drum. Mine is black, sleek and well made. The sound is clear and it resonates well I don't like that the numbers are stickers, but that seems par for the course, at least at this price point. However, it does come with an additional set of stickers in the event one or more gets worn or falls off.The drum comes with a nice array of accessories. I much appreciate that those include a case. However, the case does not hold the other accessories. Overall, I believe the accessories to be of average quality. The drum emits a clear tone when struck with the mallet/drumstick, which is all I need.I only have had my drum for two days and have never played a percussion instrument. It doesn't matter, I am simply experimenting and improvising at the moment, and it sounds beautiful. Amazingly, others who have heard me thought it was beautiful, too, with one now planning to get one for herself.Both the sounds and making those sounds are peaceful and joyful. It also offers the option of just enjoying creating different sounds and rhythms or iearning more about techniques for playing it, playing songs, translating the numbers into notes to expand access to more music,etc.If you're think8ng about buying th8s, go ahead and do it! Enjoy!

I didn't realize this came with little rubber balls to put on your fingers or drumsticks... both of which make playing this better. I thought I would just go at it with my thumbs like you'd see on Youtube videos... but there's a lot that you don't see.This thing will likely outlast me by centuries. It is much louder than I was initially led to believe and playing it involves some additional control to get that volume down where it needs to be... which adds an interesting aspect to actually playing it. It resonates rather well, to the point where notes will build on each other rather than cancel each other out.Just because there are X-number of tabs to play specific notes (which were on-point according to my tuner), that doesn't mean you can't get more interesting sounds out of it using different things and tapping different areas.What's more neat about this is that it's like a piggy bank - there's a wide rubber stopper on the bottom so that you can store things in it if you want to take it with you OR if you just want to easily keep everything together. Taking the rubber stopper out doesn't really affect the sound unless you have a mic/pickup mounted down there.I would recommend this 10-inch one because it's big enough to matter, the notes aren't as annoying as the smaller ones, but it's physical size is about the same as the pot you'd cook 2 servings of spaghetti in... so it's not unwieldy. While it is heavier than most other instruments with the same volume, it isn't something that is hard to handle even for kids. It's meant to be played in your lap or sitting on a surface anyway, and it has three rubber feet on the bottom.I purchased this to sample, but it is likely I'll play around with it just by itself... because it's easy and you don't even need to know anything about music to get something good sounding out of it.

Absolutely loved the sound it made when it rained. Very calming.

I love this drum. It sounds beautiful, is easy to learn to play, and for those who like to use sound for mindfulness, it is perfect.

This handbag is a great size. It fits easily in your lap while you play. The sound quality is clear and it's very easy and fun to play. It comes with different options for mallets and note markers so playing well is easy

Well made. Great price. Perfectly tuned. Survived a long international flight in checked luggage.

It has a good sound. Much better than some of the others I've looked at. Think this will keep me or anyone entertained for hours. Perfect gift anyone. Especially if you have adhd anxiety or depression.

This little drum sounds exactly how i wanted. I like the tanky sound it makes. Its not what a lot of people look for but i just like that sound lol. Overall, it sounds like a cheap tongue drum. It sounds ok to me, the notes have some tuning issues and they dont resonate extremely well. My lowest note (G) and my highest (C) are out of tune and im not too sure how to fix the G as its flat. The C is sharp but i can just file that down. Im not too keen on the tinny high notes but i think its ok for now. I think i would put in an extra 20 or 30 bucks to get a better one if i were to get another.
