Hi there! Just wondering about the tone of this drum. Is it low or high? Is it similar to a native american drum or does it have a higher pitch?

It has a nice low pitch, similar to a Native American drum, which is why I purchased it.

Hi. it has a higher pitch than native american drums - but that's not a bad thing. It is still very deep and long lasting. For the money, this is one of the best drums I have ever purchased (and I have an extensive collection, from all over the world).

I would consider this a high pitched drum. It's only 8 inches, so not very big to give a very low pitch. That said, it's not tuned as high as a djembe or snare. They're not super precise and would change based on your humidity. I have 6 and they're all slightly different, but all have a good sound.

I can't really say, but it seemed to be a high pitched tone. It was something that my very deaf mother could hear. I stopped using it because she was too tough for it. It would end up in different places because of her movement. She is passed now so we have no use for it anymore. A lot of the assistive tools I had for Mom will now be given to her niece who is in assisted living.

I just picked one up today, it's amazing. I don't know how it compares to the original, but I'm pretty happy with it. I switched from playing ethnic drums (congas and djembe) to electronic drums (zendrum) a few years ago. I really love the zendrum but I've missed the simplicity of playing a single surface like the djembe. The Wavedrum feels about like a djembe with a synthetic head that's not terribly tight. It's very comfortable to play with your hands and you can set it up for sticks. The sounds are are mixture of samples and synthetics that are modulated by the input from the drum head, so the drum feels very live and acoustic (I had a Roland Handsonic, the Wavedrum feels much more real and responsive). The sounds range from fairly realistic acoustic sounding drums to completely synthed out analog sounds. It is not a midi instrument, in any sense, if you're looking for a controller but it's a very cool instrument in it's own right. The only downside I can see it the parameter editing is done through a completely minimal 5 button, 2 knob interface but I suspect they're trying to hit a low price point. If it's successful, maybe they can put in a USB connection and make some editing software.

late to answer, but I play drums and it is loud enough for me. I also wear ear plugs everytime I play (fyi), I have mine mounted to a boom arm/cymbal arm and its near my right ear (about 2 feet away +/-) and the volume is up all the way. Its built in speaker is loud enough - but then again that would depend on what voice I use. Accent plus the first voice I believe.

Mine has a very good sound. It's a year old now and has been played by 4 grandchildren and myself. We all love it!

I wouldn't say it's loud. Just like most other kids toys really. There isn't a volume button as such but there is a button on the right that will toggle through different beats/tunes before turning the background tunes off at which point only the drums make a noise when hit.

Yes one pair is a little higher pitched than the other pair, which is the way it should be, yes there is a male and a female pair on every castanet set, just like the "bongo" drums or "conga" drums or many other percussion instruments. I must add that this Danmar 925 castanets is a very fine set for the price, the strings, the finish and the sound are beautiful, I saw one of my friends playing this castanets and I order a set, this sounds as good as a $300.00 pair made from grenadilla wood from Spain. I hope this help you, don't hesitate to mail me if you need more info. And Amazon service is great. Thank you for asking.

I do not like the mallet that comes with the Remo drums but I have one that a friend made for me with a felted head over wool. It is much softer and produces a deep tone on the drum.

I doubt it would be louder than your real drum sounds. It is fairly loud, but probably not that loud.

all the drums are double trigger, head and rim. I hate hitting the rim by accident and triggering a chime, etc... so I bought splitters that split the stereo input into two mono inputs, and ended up nearly doubling the set. it was awesome until the tornado hit. I miss that set.

Well I am a long time drummer (50yrs) and this is my 1st electronic set. It is nothing like a real set, heads do feel like rubber and cymbals and hi-hat are awful, but it does make noise and I do love the base sound and pedal action. To get a better feel and sound you would have to go up to a $600-$1000 set. It is just alright for the money in my opinion.

Everything is an octave lower. The game plays the ocarina's notes higher to match the octave of the in-game (background) music. But that doesnt make it anh less than what it is. The instrument still sounds beautiful.

I can respond on the sound quality part... It says in the owners manual to have the unit volume all the way up and then tune up your music source. I use it for my Zumba (R) classes and sounds great at a higher volume level. I love it!

LoveJoyPeace, good sound is subjective. This dark drum resonates with me, played with mallets or fingers. It is a dark sound. If you're looking for a traditional frame drum sound, you may want a white drum.
