Remo 16"x2,5" Frame Drum 4-stars Reviews

I like the 20" a lot better

I like the 20" a lot better. Didn't like the sound in comparison to the bigger ones, quality wise! (I know it doesn't and shouldn't sound as deep/low), but that aside. Not a nice tone to it, and the one I tried didn't had a stable tone neither. The bigger ones are better!

Good drum for start

Assembling is ok. It has a good quality. Sound is for money. Not so bright as I think. Of course it is not like a natural skin sound. Very nice for beginner,

Fiberskin is very nice for touching. I like it.

I am satisfied!

It's pretty good and I'm only a beginner with the drum, resorting to youtube for lessons. Compared to the ones I've heard, this does lack a rich, deep sound that some of the more expensive ones I've seen have, but hay, it's the inexpensive alternative and does the trick while you're learning the ropes.

not just an educational instrument...

... as the category would suggest.

It is a great beginner frame drum. it has really nice tone throughout the playing surface, nice warm bass in the middle with ringy highs on the edge. Obviously, being a budget frame drum it is not tunable, so it won't be usable every time you would like it since it basically is tuned to one note , which resonates as a sustained drone while you play which could be annoying if it doesn't fit harmonically in a music you are playing with other musicians. That is why professional frame drum players have 3 or more tunable frame drums so they can cover all possible song keys.

Bottom line, really fun instrument.
