I can confirm it does sound like a Monkey doing it like they do on the discovery channel if you know what I mean.

I hate ordering off Amazon anymore. This is another example of not getting your money’s worth.It’s small. Really small. And poorly made. It looks used. It doesn’t help that it was wrapped in a paper bag then shipped in a thin plastic bag. The paper bag was torn in multiple places. Causing nicks and scratches on the drum.It is definitely not worth the money.
