Millenium MB202HWR

Ordered these for playing at parties, thinking that their price will allow one to play them sometimes with hands like any other bongo, and sometimes disrespectfully with a stick (my apologies). The metal rings sit in a position which did not sit with my anatomy and seriously hurt my hand. This is not the case with other bongos. Also, I think, the skin was on the thinner side, so the sound was so so. I sold them even cheaper to an absolute beginner who happy for the bargain and joyful he had something to toy around with to get started. Sold these, bought more expensive ones soon. All problems gone.

I am not a drummer or a Bongo player for that matter but I bought these to give it a try. The good. They look very nice, they are strongly made and they are relatively inexpensive. The bad. They are very heavy. Knowing nothing about Bongos I watched a tuition video and the first thing it showed was how to tune your Bongo drums. I followed the chaps advice and straight away the smaller drum?s skin split! Fortunately the Millenium replacement skins are quite cheap and it was simple to replace the broken one. It remains to be seen how long the new skins last. It might be nice to include a leaflet giving instructions on how to go about tuning the drums! I cannot give these drums a high rating just because of the weight of them, otherwise they are probably good.

Bought these because I fancied a set & didn't want to spend much on them.
They seem to be well enough put together, though the finish could be better, the paint isn't great in places & the metal frames aren't the best, but to be fair, at the price I didn't expect any different.
They sound pretty good to me & as all I wanted was something to play about with, they fit the bill well.
Even with my limited experience, I know they aren't good enough quality for any sort of performance use, but to just play about with at home, they are fine. I'm happy with them.
