I am so thrilled with this purchase.  It does look almost identical to the picture, but even better.  The colors are extremely vibrant and there is a subtle shimmer in the enamel.  I haven't worn it yet except just to try it on with my dress for the luau, but it seems to be much better quality than I expected!  It's definitely the best five bucks I've spent in a long, long time!

HOLY COW!!! Even better than expected!! I'm beyond thrilled! I purchased this to use in drum circles, and for working with my clients (I'm a Master of Social Work student and really big on music and drumming as a form of stress reduction) and this is even better than pictured. The sound is rich, it's a great size, a great weight, and just absolutely beautiful quality (from design to production). I had originally hesitated and gone back and forth over a few different models before finally saying "I won't know until I try, hope this one's okay" and - honestly - it's better than okay, it's great!!

I'm definitely looking forward to using it this weekend at a retreat :-) 5 out of 5 stars, 10 out of 10, whatever: totally will buy from them again (possibly one or two more of these drums too so I can keep them around the office), and definitely want to get some other of their instruments. Seriously in love, Meinl you just made a life-long customer.

Way better than I even hoped for!
This was sturdier and heavier than I expected! So nice, an upscale furniture store would probably charge over $250 for it.
The packaging was very protective and even hard to open. I think when the fabrice wears out it would be easy to make a replacement.
I'm thrilled with it!
