Title: Poor quality instrument
Product review: I usually use a RWC drum but I bought one of these directly from EMS for a change... and was very disappointed by the poor quality of the instrument ! The synthetic skins became damaged very quickly (after just one session), the leather used was not vegetable tanned and not a good quality neither, the laminate used for the drum was very fragile, I discovered later that the tension ropes (around the drum and sewed to the skins) were stopped with... Scotch tape ! EMS sent me calf skins to replace the synthetic ones I broke but I changed also the leather parts and replaced the scotch tape with a little bit of sewing. Overall the sound is now quite good but the drum remains fragile I think.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
