The idea of this product is great! It really fulfills a strong need for musicians.
The bad side is that the finish isn't sturdy as it should, bearing in mind it is a percussion instrument. And we all know that percussion instruments keep insisting on falling, right? :P
The red plastic that covers the metal looks and feels fragile. One should provide a good gig-bag/case for it, since the manufacturer sells it inside a plastic bag.
Otherwise, it is fun and very handy to have one like this. If you are a carefull person, you'll be able to have it for a long time.
