5.0 out of 5 stars NOT JUST FOR KIDS, October 28, 2011

I have to set the record straight here... these wonderful and TUNED little babies are NOT only for kids.

In fact, as much as kids love em, sure, they are actually a fairly sophisticated percussion instrument that is like nothing I have ever come across. What I love is the beautiful tones they produce.

You can hit it anywhere, on the middle of the head, the edge of the head, of even just smack it on the rim, and the sound is amazing. I have had people beat mine as hard as someone might hit a snare drum, and with a real drumstick too... and they still sound great.

What makes 'em so cool is whatever technology Remo has produced to make these Sound shapes. The heads are ultra high tension, they are virtually indestructible (and believe me, I've taken em to a drunken and wild drum circle and had people try to destruct them!), and the rim, is so strong that the tone never changes of shifts at all. I've had mine for almost a year and a half, and while yes, there are a few tiny dents in the heads, the shapes are totally standing up!!

Structural Integrity is what I would call it.
Amazing pieces of craftsmanship in a drumming-like contraption.

--- Oh, and yes, kids do love em, but I have seen many (including me) adults make all kinds of sounds from these things. You can mute them,change the sound by pushing hard or soft on the head while hitting it. You can use a stick or tap it softly with your fingers... and if you really want to have fun, get a bunch of creative and skilled musicians together with them and look out!!! These gismos ROCK the HOUSE entirely!!!

WOW are these great. This was a gift purchase for my 3 yr old nephew who had constructed his own drumset from pots and pans. These are much easier to store than a traditional drumset and the quality of the Remo Sound Shapes is far superior to a child's drumset. The sturdiness of these will stand up to many abuses a 3yr old can inflict on his play things. The sound quality is far superior to a child's drumset and much better than his pots/pans drum set. The price point makes these within reach. I would recommend to many!
