Quality:
What i like about this drum, is it is light, easy to carry around, sounds great too. Has a natural head, that stays tight.

Desirability:
love the snake skin design

Sound:
Many tones produced, loud in a drum circle.

Overall:
i would replace it. I searched for the perfect drum for a long time, bought many many drums and dragged them around with me to drum circle. now I just take my "snake drum". Made a special cover for it too, out of snake skin print material.

Feature:
It is so light weight I would choose this drum over any other for long stand up sesions. I would only hope they come out with wrench tuning.

Quality:
Very Sturdy for such a Light drum I am realy amazed

Value:
Under $100.00 for a 12" djembe that sounds and looks good. Can noit be beat. Almost to cheap.

Desirability:
Snak print finish is cool and the Ladies love it. I always get questions. I heard they will come out with a big 14" I am waiting!!!!!

Sound:
Great Base tones. I tuned it up with the instructions added 4 diamonds on the Mali weave and the Hi slaps were amazing from these drums

Support:
No Need for service yet>>>

Overall:
This will keep me going till they come oput with a bigger drum or a wrench tuning system. Least I like about this drum of course rope tuning takes some effort

Feature:
Best feature was the weight. About 1/3 of any wood or Remo djembe. I wish they had a mechanical tuned one.

Quality:
Made very well . I watched it being thrown around as it was so lite

Value:
No other djembe at these prices sounds this good

Desirability:
Snake print finish made it noticable by all especialy the ladies.

Sound:
This drum was so amazing. Friend had one at a cricle. Very high crisp slap tones and a big boom base

Support:
No Have not yet dealt with the company but will soon as all my groop wants one but they seem to be out of stock everywhere

Overall:
I think at the price of this drum with the weight being so lite and the sound so big as well the finish is attractive it will be hard to beat for a long time.
