Mid-East TBSP Professional Tabla Set

the small one had a broken membrane due to mold, the big one had an intact membrane but also moldy and very dented. was a hassle communicating.

I bought this set in February or March of 2010. I play it daily for approximately an hour. The syahi on the dayan drum is chipping in several places and coming off. I don't know if the glue used was good quality. My instructor told me it is not ordinary for the syahi to degrade so quickly. I haven't been playing it overly hard or anything. There is also some unevenness on the edge around the dayan, which makes uniform tuning of that one drum impossible. Other than that, the drum sounds and feels great.Hope this is helpful!

Good, THe box which came with this is not hard enough to carry. But the product is good.Satisfied with this.

These are an excellent set of tablas. Sound pretty good, though have been having a hard time figuring out how to tune them. Not the drums fault I'm sure. Would recommend.*When it says that the covers/bases will come in a random color, EXPECT pink polka dots! That's what I got!

I have been looking for a performance-grade tabla set that did not cost an arm and a leg, so I ordered this tabla set in December 2007. It arrived in just a few days! The drums were in excellent condition, and in good tune. The bayan is nice heavy brass with a good tone. The soft travel case is well-cushioned and fits the drums perfectly. Mid-East Manufacturing delivered a great product with excellent service!

My drums came 2 days ago, gift wrapped! Included in the set are 2 ring shaped cushions that the drums sit on, 2 drum head covers, an instruction book, a tuning mallet, and a very nice carrying case. Ready to play right out of the box. Free shipping from New Delhi to Baltimore in 4 days!

very good
