I have just started to get to know the drum, but I like it more and more. I am new at drumming and am exploring new sounds and how to use it. It has a very rich sound with a lot of overtones. If you use water on the skin it will lower in the tone and gets really deep and strong. In dry air the tone is not so deep but still powerful. I think this is a good drum. Me myself will probably get a bigger one as well, to be used depending on mood and purpose.
