Millenium MB202HWR Reviews

It's ok but not great

The quality is not great. Ok for the price. If you are looking for high quality then you might need to invest in something else.

Budget bongo set, has great quality materials, and delivers outstanding sound. I would say it's a good choice for both beginners or more seasoned players seeking value without compromising performance

Good stuff

Very nice looking, sounds good, quality product.

Seemed quite alright to me though no bongo pro

Excellent. You can hear the result on my album “Pumped Up Kicks” by Mickey G. Also photo of the bongo on cover art. Used it with stand and after tuning. Bought it for this one time use but was impressed.

good sound...

replace the,bongohead, was,nt easy,,,

Ordered as an experiment for bad playing conditions. Sold fast.

Ordered these for playing at parties, thinking that their price will allow one to play them sometimes with hands like any other bongo, and sometimes disrespectfully with a stick (my apologies). The metal rings sit in a position which did not sit with my anatomy and seriously hurt my hand. This is not the case with other bongos. Also, I think, the skin was on the thinner side, so the sound was so so. I sold them even cheaper to an absolute beginner who happy for the bargain and joyful he had something to toy around with to get started. Sold these, bought more expensive ones soon. All problems gone.

The rim is to weak to put te necessary tension on the skin.

Perfect bongos!

Love them, using to practice my hands and tactile drumming at home.

Also recording them as a percussion for my projects - very satisfied!

SOUNDS VERY LIGHT WHEN WELL TUNED , ESPECIALLY IN A TRIO SETTING WITH VOCAL AND GUITAR

Good for learning

Probably good for someone who would like to learn how to play bongo. The quality is okay and sounds good too. It's cheap.

Heavy with dull sound

For decoration or just fun is ok

Good Product for the price

Good Product for the price

great

This really helped me understand more about the rhythm and how to make patterns a little bit more unpredictable. They are good for training and just to lay an idea on them. I even recorded them and they sound great with some processing

Distant drums

I am not a drummer or a Bongo player for that matter but I bought these to give it a try. The good. They look very nice, they are strongly made and they are relatively inexpensive. The bad. They are very heavy. Knowing nothing about Bongos I watched a tuition video and the first thing it showed was how to tune your Bongo drums. I followed the chaps advice and straight away the smaller drum?s skin split! Fortunately the Millenium replacement skins are quite cheap and it was simple to replace the broken one. It remains to be seen how long the new skins last. It might be nice to include a leaflet giving instructions on how to go about tuning the drums! I cannot give these drums a high rating just because of the weight of them, otherwise they are probably good.

Baisc bongos for begginers and hobby

I both this bongos for intro learning on percussions. I like to improvise a lot. For intro/ beginners - this is it!

Pros: Good quality wood, skin and overall construction for the price.

Cons: must be tuned properly to have neat "hombre" sound and gapy "macho" sound form them.

just to perfect for this price !!! Good quality hardware for this price class...

Good student model

I tried both this set and the Meinl bongo set. Obviously there quite a difference between them but if you need a low budget set of bongos these bongos will do. I found these to be ideal for percussion classes.

deal!

best deal for this price :)

Good for the price

Bought these because I fancied a set & didn't want to spend much on them.

They seem to be well enough put together, though the finish could be better, the paint isn't great in places & the metal frames aren't the best, but to be fair, at the price I didn't expect any different.

They sound pretty good to me & as all I wanted was something to play about with, they fit the bill well.

Even with my limited experience, I know they aren't good enough quality for any sort of performance use, but to just play about with at home, they are fine. I'm happy with them.

A fun set of bongo's

I used these bongo's mainly around a campfire when lugging around a full drum kit isn't practical. They're fun to play and the quality is pretty good, after plenty of trips temperature changes and humidity changes (and occasionally staying out overnight) the skins still produce a good sound.
