As stated in other comments, the drum head is synthetic so it will have a different sound and feel compared to the natural skin drums. It also is a Base drum and has a deeper sound that the regular Buffalo Remo. I love mine and have no issues at all, also hold the drum by the ropes to play it.

I agree with this earlier response : The drum head is stationary and requires no further tuning. Presumably you're aware that the shell of the drum must be unrestricted (other than the ropes) in order to resonate the vibration of the drum head which is synthetic and is not affected by temp/ humidity changes. IN OTHER WORDS YOU MUST HOLD THE DRUM BY THE ROPES WHEN PLAYING IT. LAYING THE DRUM FLAT ON A SURFACE SUCH AS THE FLOOR OR TABLE THEN BEATING ON IT WILL PRO DUCE THE SOUND YOU DESCRIBED.

the drum head is a synthetic material, i like it better than real leather because in a sweat lodge the real leather gets so floppy that it sounds bad. this synthetic drum stays tight no matter how humid it gets. this particular drum has two synthetic heads glued on so it will play a deeper bass boom. i like the sound of this over the regular buffalo drums and i do not notice the beater sound over the drum itself. have you tried the regular buffalo drums, you may like those better.

I took parachute cord and done a web weaver using the rope handle on the inside and it seemed to tighting up the drum. next if needed I will use wet rawhide to replace the rope handles and when it drys it will shrink and tighting real good.

I dont believe because this one (Pearl Mesh Head) is a normal drum head whithout sound or low sound for drums. Practice pad is different

I've worked on many stainless steel tables and that part was always basically the same. I wouldn't call it a snare drum, but it will be loud if you pound on it. I also wouldn't even consider pounding on it unless you get the extra shelf for stability.

Lol!!!! I just found out. Been searching the internet with same problem. I'm usually good with these things so I was quite frustrated not being able to figure it out, almost broke the darn thing trying to use a small screwdriver as someone had suggested. Anyway the answer is.... (drumroll please) It is AUTO-tilt; so once its been completely opened, continuing to crank the mechanism (I know scary, I was worried I'd break it) actually starts working the tilt mechanism!

Is is for the resonant (or the snare side only--the bottom). If you use it as a "batter" side (top) you will tear it up...it's way too thin.

It was difficult to know how to assemble this piece. And our cymbals easily got bent, and had to be pushed back into their original shape. We were able to reshape the cymbal, so it works fine now.I tried to contact the CB Drums company about this to ask a similar question, and never heard anything back from them.

Mine did the same thing when I first got it. You can adjust the height of the beaters. Lift the top up, like you're going to remove the bowl. There is a screw underneath where the top attaches to the stand. Use a screwdriver to adjust the beater. You turn it to the right to lower it. That fixed mine.

Reduce the content of metal filings in your recipes? :)Your experience is the opposite of mine, but maybe one beater isn't setting right and it's being smacked about by the other... Make sure both beaters are in completely and don't turn much without the motor running.It should still be under warrantee, maybe this is a question for the manufacturer.

I bought one, but it would not read on my computer. You may want to purchase a newer version drum set. There might be different software out there that will make it compatible.

Hi Jim,I am no drum expert, but it seems real to me. I have purchased kits from Walmart before and this is by far of better quality. Sorry I could not be more help.

Not that I know of. The material is cheaper, lighter, you can see the water level in both drums. Nothing comes to mind.

I have this machine now. I strongly advise against buying one. It's flimsy and the drum never fails to get stuck inside.I'm replacing mine asap.

I would listen to the sounds on a YouTube video so you can hear it for yourself. They arent the most realistic drum sounds but any percussion is fun to play to.... and it is quite easy to program.

Did you physically damage the drum pad or did it just stop working? If it just stopped working the piezo trigger switch inside may have just come loose from the pad. It is held in place by a piece of tape. Open it up and retape. Now if the pad itself is damaged I would start by contacting Medeli: http://www.medeli.com.hk/?page=contactus

Wouldn't work. Most of the drum uses wood glue around the edges and wouldn't be condusive to just screws.

I have used this tool to push my cv joint out of my front hub assembly. It uses the holes as pictured to put your wheel studs through, lug nuts are then attached and then the center spindle is driven down to push item drive axle or whatever away. Supposing that the brake drum has a point in the middle you can brace off, in theory you could push the drum off of the assembly. Always try heating the drum, or soaking in penetrating lubricant. Using a handheld propane torch to heat the drum first then with a ballpin hammer, slowly work the drum off. You might be able to get the drum off only if it has a point you can push from in the middle of the drum. Give you any ideas? Hope I could help.
