I purchased an LP wooden tambourine with steel jingles for under $5 and liked it. I play the drums but never played a tambourine before. I started wondering how much better a professional tambourine would sound so I started looking around and researching and decided on the Cyclops with dimpled brass jingles. The difference is night and day! The wood and steel tambourine sounds more like a sock with quarters in it and the Cyclops sounds more like sleigh bells. The Cyclops is shaped like an eye (thus the name) and is very easy to play. If it weren't for the shape of the Cyclops I think it would be a beast to maneuver since it weighs about twice as much as the wood tambourine (The Cyclops weighs just under 13oz while the wood tambourine is a little over 6oz). While both tambourines have good usable sounds, the Cyclops is very musical and controllable.

I tried out the meins and the rest of them, this one was more natural to control and the sound is AWESOME, i bought one for myself and ordered additional 3 for friends who became jealous with mine. Great product, so well done.
