Customer Reviews for VEVOR Steel Tongue Drum - 11 Notes 12 inches - Percussion Instrument - Handpan Drum with Bag, Book, Mallets, Finger Picks (White)

On the first day my kids and I played it for hours. My son is a musician so he checked to make sure it's was in tune. It was. The drum itself is beautiful and looks well made. After some ground rules I let my little girls play it. They are 10 and 5. The carrying case looks well made also. There was some extra pieces that came with it and no materials list, but I think they are for your fingers if you don't want to use the drumsticks. There was also a hard plastic thing that I think goes on the shoulder strap for the carrying case. It also comes with a book of music.The tone of the drum reminds me of wind chimes. I love wind chimes. The wind here destroys wind chimes. I don't have a music background, but that doesn't matter. It's impossible to make it sound bad. In my opinion.My daughter said "Whoever made this drum is a genius." I agree, it's brilliant.My brother bought this drum first after he did his research, he said it was a great drum. He was right.

Seemed gently used with material on back of sticker sheet. Otherwise, wonderful. Lovely sound. Some notes are clearer than others. A joy to play.

Not well tuned, and will have to adjust a couple of the tongues.

My husband plays this like 5 times a day now, he loves it! The sound is soothing and fun. This was his favorite birthday gift! Score! Plus the portable bag really helps because he can play with his family and friends when he wants to. Great quality, sturdy! Mallets are good too! Comes with finger numbs too if you would rather play that way.

Bought this as a gift for my wife. She loves lt.

I love having my grandkids play the drum. The tones are melodious and lovely to hear.

Edited to 5 stars. Vendor reached out to me after contacting them and after presenting them a video how it played, they sent me a new one. I have to say the were very courteous and accommodating. I would definitely do business again! The SOUND ON THIS DRUM IS INCREDIBLE, and goes right through you - instant gratification and well worth the price after much investigation for this price range. Original post: Overall, the instrument is made well, came well packaged, and on the tongues that work, the sound is really incredible. The vibrations go through your whole body, and give a sense of immediate peace. However that was interrupted when two of the higher octave tongues were dead. As I have been able to make all the other tongues work great (each tongue has a sweet spot for that perfect tone), and I am a musician, I need all the tongues to work. Waiting for the seller response and if I can get it exchanged for a new working one, I will change my rating to five stars.

I liked the number of tones, the size and the value for the price.

I have this drum to my husband for Christmas. he loves it! Beautiful soothing tones to de stress your day!

It was a gift!! My nephew loved it.
