The sound of this beautiful Log Drum is superb. Although Thomann offer the best price I have found on the internet so far, I do wish they were a tad cheaper as they are so beautiful to work with especially when working with challenging behaviour and special needs groups. As a community musician I find these particular Log Drums highly accessible to both absolute beginners and people who have more experience musically. I find at my workshops people are automatically drawn to the sound of these drums as they have a beautiful soulful resonance. I will expand my collection for definate. I have already bought the 60P82, and the 45041 and also the 60P80 (waiting for delivery). I really would love the 60101 log drum so fingers crossed. Overall, extremely happy with the purchase and superb customer service also.
