Very good start point fo frammedrumming
Laurent9128 25.06.2018
This is a lovely framedrum. 20' is a good size to start. I know many beginners including myself want to have extra deep sound and are drawn to big framedrums. Honnestly 20' is the maximum size you want to start with. (and maybe smaller if you are not very tall). Above that there is a risk of unnecessary pain by lack of good positioning, at least if you get into regular practice.
Anyways, that was my first tunable framedrum and i was quite comfortable with it. I like the brightness of the sound (this is a matter of personal taste), it is perfect for playing lapstyle or free hand. You cannot play in upright position with this one, it's not designed for that (well... you can a little but please dont try to learn upright position with that). The cross bars behind are giving you the possibility of using beaters for a more "shamanic" kind of play, and you can place optional jingles there too.
The skin has a regular width and is a symetric cut around the spine, witch is a must.
I am glad to keep it in my drum collection, for it has a specific sound color that really has a place in my palette.
I dont like the black nylon belt around, it looks cheap and is not comfortable to touch. A cotton or softer synthetic tissue with a little decor would have radically changed the look of the drum. And I dont enjoy the big markings from the company on the skin, hopefully i got rid of them.
So in a nutshell, while the looks could have been improved for less than an euro, it's good for lapstyle, free hand style and beaters but not upright position, the sound is really excellent to me, and i have a very good feeling on the skin, witch is something i cannot explain clearly but is related to the texture and how my fingers are bouncing off it.

Tried the 23" schalgwerk and bought this one but go for the bigger in case you have big hands

I'm a cello player but I like instruments I recommend this one because it's tunable, and has inner crossed woods to hold it with (watch out the others might not have one even if it is shown in the pictures!)
I'm glad with the purchase but I honestly liked the 23" one although it's bigger and heavier, but mainly the products are well done and of high quality! I'm choosing to buy 1 or 2 new ones :)

Unbegrenzter Trommelspaß
Volkersen 12.05.2011
Eigentlich kann man es ganz kurz machen - Klang, Verarbeitung und Handling sind einfach hervorragend.

Trotzdem etwas ausführlicher:
Vor dem Kauf habe ich lange überlegt, welche Trommelgröße für mich richtig sein könnte. Vorrangig sind natürlich die individuellen Klangvorstellungen; die imposantesten Bässe und die klarste Trennung von Tiefen und Höhen liefert sicher das Instrument mit 60 cm Durchmesser. Andererseits klingen kleinere Instrumente kerniger, und die Trommel muss auch zur Körpergröße passen, schließlich liegt bei der Standardhaltung eine Hand im oberen Bereich des Rahmens auf. Mit der RTS 51 habe ich ein Instrument gefunden, das sich trotz meiner Größe von nur gut 170 cm lange Zeit ermüdungsfrei halten läßt und gleichzeitig einen vollen, runden und hoch differnzierbaren Sound liefert.

Mit ihrer Rahmentiefe von 8 cm und einem Gewicht von ca. 1250 g läßt sich die Trommel allerdings kaum nach Art einer Tar mit einer Hand am Rahmen halten; man kann entweder das Haltekreuz benutzen und hat dann natürlich nur begrenzte Spielmöglichkeiten zur Verfügung, oder man wählt das Spiel im Sitzen mit auf dem Oberschenkel aufgestützter Trommel. In dieser Position lassen sich dann alle erdenklichen Spieltechniken zur Erzielung unterschiedlichster farbiger Klänge einsetzen. Übrigens kann man das Instrument durchaus auch recht leise spielen und trotzdem noch differenzierte Klänge erzeugen.

Gestimmt wird über das beanstandungsfrei arbeitende integrierte Stimmsystem mit Hilfe des mitgelieferten Imbusschlüssels, der an einem Klettband an der Rahmeninnenseite befestigt und so jederzeit griffbereit ist.

Durch seine Klangfülle und die angenehme Bespielbarkeit macht das Instrument nicht nur den Einstieg ins Rahmentrommelspiel zur Freude, sondern lädt auch immer wieder zum Experimentieren und zum Erfinden eigener Rhythmen ein.
