Drum heads appeared to be used, some general wear on bongos thought we were getting a "new" item. Nice set, but would have been nicer if new. Price was attractive, now I know why.

I was told that i will be getting a new set of bongo drums but it was not. I got something which somebody had used it before. this was clear evident with marks on the connection bridge. Also there are not stable at all and very much loose hard to play at times....

I would recommend anyone to spend few more $$ (probably 10 or 15 extra) and buy something else.. Disappointed with the product I got.

Thanks,
Sam

Little issue with shipping, initially, but it did make it to me before Christmas so it all worked out. I'll just assume it was the Christmas rush that bogged things down for them. They did communicate with me about the issue so I won't knock them on that.

I think mentally I expected them to be a little larger but they were the exact dimensions as listed. Had to tune the drums in but once tuned, they sounded great. I bought them for my 5 year old son and they are perfect for him. He's already kicking out some rhythmic beats with me on my Conga's. Great product for the price.

Had them for a year with a four year old pounding on them. He has broken all other instruments but these are fine. I added some little rubber feet so they would sound good if played while set on a wooden floor.

I am very happy with the set of bongos I have received. The only reason I gave a rating of 4 out of 5 is because I did not receive the tuning key that was advertised to accompany the bongos (no matter-I have one) and I was unaware the bongos had been shipped when they arrived. Fortunately, someone was available on location so the box was not outside for a long period of time. That being said, I am very happy with the short time span between ordering the product and the arrival. Thanks very much.

The bongo were okay but the heads we old and had to be replaced. It was worth the price if you don't mind bying new head. Next time i'll just spend extra on a name brand.
