Solid Performance

The 420 size is perfect for my hand size. The stick rebound is good, making complex rhythms easier to play. Highly satisfied.

Great Traditional Instrument

Very authentic feel and sound. The leather head is tight and responsive. I deducted one star only because the case could be slightly more padded.

Perfect for Theater Conducting

I use this drum to conduct our local theater group. The projection is excellent, and the rhythm cuts through the orchestra clearly.
