I purchased this as a gift for someone at Christmas. He loves it. He carried it around all day tapping and patting on the drum. Announcing his arrival into every room. And, yes, this was a grown man.
This drum is a perfect size, the handle makes it easy to transport. The carving is exquisite and the material that is wrapped around adds a true African flair. Beautiful and sturdy, will last a lifetime. And of course, it sounds wonderful.
