Regarding of what i've seen from photos i was expecting a very flimsy construction, but i was wrong, it's actually really well constructed, nice materials, not flimsy at all..and looks great!
The only downside is that it doesn't shake along with the hat chick, unless playing an extremely hard chick..
But as a beat-up tambourine works well, the sound itself it's to brittle to me, i kinda prefer brass jingles instead of stainless steal ones, but for the price, i'm not disappointed at all!!
