MAHARAJA Tabla Drum Set - Buy 3KG Black Brass Bayan, Finest Dayan, Hammer, Cushions & Cover PDI-EA

Everything arrived as expected, and as other reviewers have noted, I found that the quality of the instruments is very good (especially for the price). The Bayan is definitely an A+. The Dayan, I would rate at an A-, because although very well constructed, its tuning range is very limited and the leather straps are very dry. I am hoping that this will get a little better over time as the head seasons and loosens up, and once I oil the leather. The Bayan's tone is exceptional. The Dayan's tone I would rate as good to very good. Overall construction quality of both drums is very good. Inclusion of a decent carrying case with carrying straps and latches for the lid is a nice add-on as well.Shipping/delivery are off the chart. I ordered on a Friday, and my tabla set arrived at my door in the Eastern US on the following Tuesday. Amazing.Further, the company contacted me by email around a week after delivery inquiring as to my satisfaction, and to request any suggestions. Very thoughtful, and simply good customer service. I highly recommend both this product and seller.

The product arrived intact, though I was disappointed that the instructional booklet, "HOW TO PLAY TABLA" by VIKA was not included.The quality is decent, though the larger drum needed some tuning using the included wooden pegs.

Great value for this set. The drums are attractive and sound great. All the pieces promised I've included in pictures above so people can seem them in "the wild". The the carrying case was better than I'd expected. It's padded (even if lightly so) and has blue piping. The piping isn't a functional improvement but it does make it look nice. The book does a decent job of at least getting you "in there" and conveying unique concepts of the Tabla and traditional Indian musical conventions.The drums, when struck correctly have nice tone (I'm new so I often do not use correct technique lol). They're quieter than what I'd imagine a full on concert set would be. I mention this because for me that's good. I live in an apartment with neighbors who have to put up with my various musical adventures already. So I feared subjecting them to my learning pains on a drum set of all things. But with this set I arrange them on the couch and combined with the foam padding of the couch beneath and the drums subtle tone quality I'm able to play at full power and get good tone while not making people mad. And just to be clear they do have sound they're just not blowing out the place.Anyway if you're looking for a good intermediate set, or a learning set that doesn't really compromise on quality or tone then I'd suggest this set.

Bayan's in the middle of the leather black part broken as peaces, but that really good, I enjoyed it came before time and its genuine.I love it!! and thanks for Maharaja's

Tabla came in good condition with great packing . All parts looked good but when I started to tune it I saw one gatta ( wooden peg) missing. I will recommend to buy it but missing gatta caused me to give one star because it is hard to find the parts.

quality is poor

Its just the way I wanted. Initially I was little concerned about the product delivery because it was coming from India but the packing was very good. It was tightly packed in a box. I got this Tabla set in a perfect condition. You get a tuning hammer and a book for reference which can be helpful for beginners. Overall a great product. Loved it!!!!

I love this set. I'm only beginning. The dayan sounds excellent to me. I hear all the tones I love in the tabla music I listen to. Bayan is great too. It's not loud but just right for an apartment.
