Cheap, broken, out of tune- Buyers beware
Do not be fooled by all of the wonderful reviews. This company misleads you by coming off as a US based company. It is not. The product is shipped directly from China. The Panda drum Pro ($240) product arrived in a broken case, with broken mallets . The drum, as described on their website should be tuned to C major. Not one note was even remotely in tune- the sound is tinny and hollow with no depth with very little sound produced at all. I contacted the company immediately, sent them a video of the notes being played, I send pictures of the broken mallets and case . I returned the product as requested by the company, and I am still waiting for my refund.. which is being delayed supposedly for an inspection? I will update my review when and if I ever get my refund. UPDATE** Within several hours after posting this review, I received a refund notice from PayPal and have as of today received my money back.

Dear Penny, We are truly sorry that your experience did not meet expectations, and we completely understand how frustrating and disappointing this must have been for you. While Panda Drum is a U.S.-based company, some of our orders ship from our warehouse overseas due to stock availability. This helps us fulfill orders efficiently and maintain a steady inventory, but we deeply regret that your order arrived in less-than-perfect condition. Your concerns have been taken very seriously, as we deeply value every customer who chooses Panda Drum. This is not the experience we strive for and customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything we do. Our management team has already reached out to you personally to ensure this is fully resolved, as well as to confirm that your order has been fully refunded. Additionally, we’ve offered an extra gesture to make things right, as we truly want to turn this experience around for you. We’re waiting to hear back from you and would love the opportunity to discuss the best way forward. Warmest regards, The Panda Drum Team
