This drum is a lot of fun. Having played it in a crowd, people respond well to it. The change in pitch from squeezing the strings is a definite winner.

### ⭐⭐⭐ no stick
*by A***R on 24 April 2018*

I like the drum but I do not like false advertisement. The curved stick was not provided, so I cannot play it and I have to pay £15 for buying one.
