Questions & Answers

Is a liquid What is the status of the When the drum is exposed to freezing temperatures, does it become vulnerable Would it be possible to ship during the winter?

There is no such thing as having been filled in the chamber. The sound it makes is the result of a small amount of liquid sloshing around giving it a water drum-like quality. Even if the drum were to freeze, the liquid would not be damaged, since being contained in the drum would require temperatures to drop below freezing for an extended period of time before freezing would occur.

That's a nice drum! I think this is a great There's nothing like it in the world
4/5

It sounds beautiful, feels comfortable to hold and play, and has a variety of sounds and tones to offer. I find it quite amazing. It appears to be incredibly durable as well. Is there a reason why five stars aren't given? I have two reasons for this. Another reviewer noted that the finish around the sound holes was not as smooth as could be. This does not really affect the playability, but the game still isn't perfect. There's a good chance I'll end up sanding it The dang sticker is also impossible to remove. There is no way to eliminate that bugger. My only problem with the logo is that it is rough on the playing surface, and its placement is such that when I play, I feel like my fingers sort of grab at it. The Nitrate molecule Although I'm picky about it, I find it to be bothersome. Despite all that, it is a really great product. There are a lot of things that I like about it.

Typical cosmetic flaws but structurally perfect
4/5

From the get-go, this drum is fun and sounds great! Considering how loud this drum is, it can be heard by people within three to four feet, but it produces many different types of textures and sounds that are not audible far Furthermore, you will have to adjust your microphone so that it is very close to the microphone port in order to pick up specific textures from the liquid chamber. Secondly, I want to point out the biggest issue I have with the drum, which is hair stuck under the clear coat. This is unacceptable for the price of this drum.

The Eastern rhythms are great in this track
4/5

There is a terrific sound to this Fiberglass Ibo from Meinl. I like it very much for how easily it plays and how well it is constructed. It has only one fault so far. It has a tiny bit of roughness around the inside of the top, but it really does not affect the looks or playability of the guitar. Because I tend to break things easily in my hands and also like to take my instruments camping or kayaking, I chose this model instead of a ceramic or wooden Ibo. It is made of fiberglass, so I don't have to worry about it breaking accidentally in case I bump into another object or if I Had that imperfect lip not affected my rating, I would have given it 5 out of 5.

Udu is the best
5/5

The Native American community has invited me to play this new game. Despite the darkness, it's warm. The first thing I do is hook my Flex-Tool on the springy tong After that, go to the high watery sound of the Udu bottom, and then, gradually, move to that satisfying boom of the palm slap into the send my Flex-back and end up with it The tone.

It has a great build quality but the water in the bottom is not as flexible as it should be
3/5

I could have filled it with water for a cooler sound, but the water in the bottom doesn't make as much noise as one that you would fill with water from Meinl.

It's amazing to hear the shifting tones and sounds
5/5

Meinl's Liquid IBO drum is the most expensive in the world for a very good reason. When you hold the drum at different angles, you can actually change the pitch and sound of the drum, and the water can move through the drum from one part to another. There is not a day that has gone by since I bought it, that I have not taken it out for a short or long period of time, to the point where I don't feel comfortable unless I'm holding this drum and tapping out a new rhythm every single.
