Beautiful instrument thru and thru! Just grabbed 1 a size up in the key of G minor from guitar center. Can't wait to start playing around on it!

[@TheCAG1976]

The smaller drips like these are more. Relaxing and sounds like wind chimes! Wow this is good! Now I want to practice more!

Thank you so much for your kind words and comments!

Awesome Annette, and Welcome!

[@ElenasBarre]

wow, Juke, this drum sounds amazing and you are also so fluent with it. 👏🔥🤩 Thank you for sharing this. 🙏🙏🙏

[@jukesjointOG]

Thank you for your extremely kind words.

@@jukesjointOG you inspired me to get this drum and play some meditation music. Do you think it's possible to play slow meditation music on this drum ? I'm relatively new to drums. I do play a little bit of darbuka, but I've never tried playing these sound drums... 😂

[@jukesjointOG]

@@ElenasBarre Absolutely. They come in different tunings though, so be aware (you might want major or minor, or different drums for different moods). You might also like a hand pan though; it’s literally played “hands on.”

[@ElenasBarre]

​@@jukesjointOGThank you Juke for your reply. 🙏🙏🙏 Could you tell me if this drum is pentatonic ? I'm still new to it and I've seen videos saying that pentatonic drums are better for meditation. 😂

[@jukesjointOG]

@@ElenasBarre The one in the video is major pentatonic. There are other pentatonic scales (minor pentatonic). And the Meinl drum comes in a few different tunings, so you have to kind of start with an idea of what you want. Will you want to play with other people or multiple instruments? Or just on your own?

Thanks for the banger. I'm going to have to pick one of these up.

Thank you, Byron! I did a quick review of the Meinl drum, in case you missed it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXzHopimgLGKhdU
