This was an expensive drum new... it is ceramic and still sounds great. Unfortunately it fell over and cracked at the bottom. The edges are a little sharp. I have others and haven't been playing this one much so thought I would pass it on at a good price to someone. I would likely cover the crack with some tape but I will leave that up to the new owner. Could possibly file it down smooth as well for a better look. I do have a video of it being played if you would like to hear it. Pick up is on James Island.
