„The drum is realy amazing – I wanted to test the the drum before letting you know – I am in love in this instrument, the frame is really balanced, the sounds is so interesting, the size is perfect. I play on it on upright style, both on Italian and Arabic way. I use also a lot on lapstyle. The sound is really that I had in mind when I ordered it. Thank you so much man ! „
