"My main complaint is that, unlike what you'll find on most metal doumbeks, the HE-100's rim flange rides above the head, which - combined with the very small size - makes getting satisfying teks and executing finger rolls quite difficult on the HE-100, at least for this player."
"I bought this just because as a drummer, I'm constantly hand-drumming on stuff and thought I might as well keep something around to develop a skill playing rather than just beating on a desk."
"This drum is on the small side."
"Bought this for my nephew and he loves it."
"Grandson loves his drum, and they love to play together."
"I often find myself just picking it up and playing it for no good reason (I hold it in one hand and play with the other)."

The durable synthetic head easily and quickly changes range from deep, resonant "doum" lows to snapping, ringing highs that both fully project. The Meinl aluminum Doumbek is made with a hand engraved aluminum shell that responds with immense tones, from deep low notes to snapping, ringing highs.

"Great sound!"
"Comes with a bag, an extra drumhead, and an Allen wrench to change it."
"It sounded great but the engraved design had rough jagged edges that could cut the musician."
