Meinl African Talking Drum with Mahogany Wood Shell and Wooden Beater - NOT MADE IN CHINA - Large Size Goat Skin Heads, 2-YEAR WARRANTY (ATD-L)

Had this for a few years. Well made, great tone, good control of tones.

The media could not be loaded. I am highly impressed with this talking drum. I have never owned one before and needed to make sure I spent the money I had well and with smart decision making. The reviews helped me to do so and I am not disappointed. I first received one that had something loose inside, and they are handmade I see, so that is expected to have some defect. But, since it was new and fixable, I exchanged and now have a great one. Even the old one sounded great though. It sounds NICE, looks beautiful, and feels great. I like the heavy duty strap. For the money, this size is perfect and it is a quality drum.

mallet broke.

Got it as a gift and the recipient loved it. Says it sounds good and built very well.

Met and exceeded my expectations. Thank you!

I legit love this drum. I’m as novice as it gets, with a large group of friends that vary from solid amateur to professional musicians. Playing with them is one of my favorite things to do, all time compared to anything. I have a djembe and a cajon I normally play. I’ve always enjoyed both. This talking drum is the first piece I’ve gotten that I actually love so much that I feel compelled to play it, on my own. Just infinitely unique.

The drum arrived today ( a Sunday no less) After unpacking it, I had a chance to play it. I am not really a drummer but I had a blast. It is well-made, comes with stick, sounds great and is fun and easy to play.

Too small.
