Perfect for my waist drum ensemble
I bought these for our local dance troupe. They are lightweight enough to hold for long periods but still deliver a powerful sound.

Great quality, very loud
Beautiful craftsmanship and a very bright tone. Be aware they are quite loud, so maybe not ideal for small practice rooms without dampening.

Good value for money
Solid construction and nice finish. The pitch is slightly higher than expected but works well for the specific pieces we play.

Excellent projection
The copper alloy feels durable and the sound projects well even in large halls. Highly recommended for percussionists exploring Asian instruments.

Beautiful aesthetic and sound
Not only do they sound amazing, but they look stunning on stage. The polished copper shines under the lights.
