"Not so much from being struck, but from the motion of the rod when using foot to open/close the hats."
"Good sound."
"Very happy and satisfied with the product, item was safely packaged and shipped in a timely manner, keep up the excellent work. Thank you."

Find Best Price at Amazon"It's louder (stick played) than the LP JamTamb, and sounds better (on the hihat rod) than the LP Cyclops Hihat Tambourine or the Tama Jingle Ring."
"I've had this percussion instrument for almost 2 years now, and have used it --along with an LP High Pitch Jam Block (the blue one)-- in conjunction with either my small drum setup (a set of LP Jr. wood congas) or my medium hand drum kit (Pearl Primero Pro fiberglass congas/bongos)."
"Super cool but a little quiet for a full kit."
"This thing works great and the clamp is even more heavy duty than the picture might have you believe."
"This one gets 5 stars as a drum set Tambourine in my book."
"Great little instrument with great sound and tone whether hand-held or mounted."
"The rubber hitting surface removes any stick sound when played with the kit which I like."
"This is a tambourine and is a good size to fit in a small area."
Color: Black. Unique, polymer playing edge.

"This is a good-sounding tambourine, but unfortunately the plastic frame is too flexible."
"I like this tambourine."
"If you're playing a variety of songs you need a DST."
"I've had this tambo before for many years/tours and had lost in in my travels at some point."
"great item, fast delivery, great quality."
"The biggest downside is the same thing I've found with a lot of Rhythm Tech's rod clamping hardware; you can tighten the wing nut as much as possible, yet the item will still slip periodically."

Find Best Price at Amazon"My only gripe with this head is that the smaller foam ring doesn't stay on the head, it falls right out after a couple kicks with the pedal."
"But it also seems to sacrifice quite a bit of volume compared to Remo Powerstroke P3 Clear, at least on my kick."
"I let a friend play my drummer's bass drum when he came over to jam and he accidentally broke the drum head."
"I am no drum tuning pro, so when a head come ready to just apply and play.."
"I am in love with the elegant concept of achieving a good kick sound without stuffing anything inside of it."
"It delivers a heavy bass sound considering I'm using the 20" version."
"I completely agree with the previous reviews that say that it doesn't necessarily give the chest-resounding whump that you get from a down-filled pillow in the drum cavity, but I love that the rings allow for options in terms of the degree of muffling. In other words, before, the liner served two functions: to muffle the resonance of the beater head; and to add depth to the sound (the deep thump)."
"The seller I just bought this EMAD from decided to not tape those slits, or any part of the box the head comes in... I’m missing the included heater patch the EMAD usually comes with because it probably fell out of the unsecured box."

"We bought our kids a beginner drum kit for Christmas, and the reviews said that the kit was excellent with the exception of the cymbals, which were cheap."
"There is another Meinl cymbal pack that is 200$ and includes these cymbals plus a 20 inch ride, however I personally recommend buying this pack and the ride separately, it's cheaper."
"These were a present for my son on his birthday a great gift for a drummer just starting out."
"If you are starting out and/or are on a really tight budget and need cymbals, you really ought to try these."
"These Meinl cymbals sound great and evoke high quality engineering (made in Germany)."
"SOUNDS GOOD THE CRASH AND RIDES ARE GREAT."
"The Meinl hi-hats are just a tad better than the Wuhans, but the Wuhan crash and splash are 10x better than the Meinls I got."

Overall this is an amazing price for starting out fresh with endless possibilities to expand. Plus, my hardware is still perfect, but the cymbals are for practice only (dont expect Zildjian, just something to train with till the time is right."
"With the help of our daughter's band teacher, we selected this set."
"For the price this set comes with a lot of great features."
"Good quality for the price."
"The drum set was relatively easy to set up by watching the instruction dvd that came with the set. Overall I gave the drum set four stars out of five because although it has its flaws, it fulfills its purpose, which is being a good drum set for a beginner."
"EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED!!!"
"The good thing about this set is that it fits in small places if set up right, it is also good for if you don't have a lot of money to spend."
"but great drum set if you upgrade it and buy new equipment."

"A big plus for me is that it has a way to mount it so I can mount it onto a percussion stand instead of just having a student hold it which is a big benefit if a student needs to make a quick instrument change."
"We have multiple amateur musicians in our family, and we've all enjoyed channeling our inner Will Ferrell while rocking out."
"A great sounding and well constructed cowbell for the price."
"Well made and sturdy!"
"This cowbell has good tone, it's not the best quality, but it is reasonable for the price."
"Good sounding cowbell in my opinion."
"Great sound!"

"I worked for a start up and I was the product/release/project manager; we used this gong to announce releases and other big events."
"This hanging gong is an impressive piece that I keep in my living room."
"The resonance was more than I had thought."
