Thomann 18" Frame Drum Tuneable

The drum look nice, it's big enough, and the sound is great, at the edges the sound is more deep and powerful and in the middle more mild, it sound good and sometime very good to me. So far I don't see the use for the tunable parts, if you weaken them it barely make a sound, when you tight them it make a great sound so maybe you can go straight for the cheaper one without tunable parts, but who know maybe the tune will come in handy some day if you want this. In my chase the tunable nails come with a bit of rust, when I bring up the problem Thomann, offer me to replace it or give me some money back, but I don't do it because I like it as it is, so they have a great customer service. And an advice, if you buy this model don't tight to hard on the screw of the tunable parts they will press against the frame, and in my chase the frame crack in one corner, so the screw it's not going in, it just press against the opposite metal spot, so dont press to much.
All in all for this price this is a great drum and I would recommand it to buy it if you want something simple and cheap.
