Handmade DOBANI Damru Damroo Drum Handmade indian Damaru musical instrument shiva

Good hand size and a good sound. The one I received is not the drum pictured though. It is a very dark blue, almost black color with white stripes. There are giant plastic silver beads on the strings which can be slid up and down the sides. The red bead on the striker strings are also plastic. The description says it is 6” tall, but mine is only ~5”. I have small hands though, so that does not bother me. Width is accurate. Aesthetically I would have preferred the colorful drum pictured, but for this item the important thing is the sound produced and ease of use. It serves that purpose well, so I would not feel right to lower the star rating. Still, be aware that you could get a different Damru than pictured if you buy this item.As a note, since there is a review about the size of the item: this type of drum, Damru, is supposed to be small so that it can be held in the middle. You twist your wrist while holding it so the striker strings swing and hit the drumming surface with the beads to produce specific sounds. It is a Hindu and Buddhist religious item, but it can also be used as an ordinary instrument. It’s ease of use can make it very fun for young children and is a great tool for learning the concept of rhythm.

Great product and exactly the sound I was hoping for.

Bought it for my toddler daughter. I wish the seller could put a picture of how big the product is in real life on their product page, it would be easier for customer to get the idea more directly. I am a pretty tiny person, 5.5 feet tall not even weight 100 pounds, the drum is literally as big as my hand. The quality was not as good as they said in the description either. If I saw it in person before I purchased it, for sure I would not pay $10 for that. So not worth it.

Awesome sound

A bit small but the grands like it

It is awesome.

Quality wise is not good. Shape is too small and too expensive.

It works and they sent an flute along with it.
