Paid for an expensive one and not good

Paid for an expensive one. Sound is not loud. Not good for groups. A real disappointment and then, right after I bougjt the expensive one it went on sale 1/2 price. It’s not great. I would not recommend.

Hi Julie,

A quick correction on the price, because it matters: your order was placed at our sale price of $259.95, about half of the $499.95 regular price. The price didn't drop after your purchase, you bought at the lowest price we offer. Current pricing is always visible at pandadrum.com/pages/collection.

On the sound: our drums are personal instruments first, designed for playing close up, for relaxation and focus, and that's how we present them. We don't advertise them as group instruments. They can carry a room with good acoustics, and placement makes a real difference, playing over a hard surface projects much more than playing on your lap. Our larger models are also noticeably louder and fuller.

Julie, we've reached out to you by email, and whatever you decide, we'll take care of you. Whether that's helping you get more out of your drum, exchanging it, or a simple return and refund, we'll do whatever we can to make this right. Your happiness with the instrument matters more to us than the sale.

Pleased with Panda Drum in every aspect

I ordered the mini panda drum directly from the company. I am very pleased with the customer service. I had received an email that my order would be delivered that day and it was not. I emailed the company and received a reply immediately. Advising the email was in error, how to track the package and she would personally follow up. I received my drum in a timely manner. I received an another email wanting to be sure the package it had gotten to me.
I bought the mini drum for my 3 year old non-verbal autistic grandson. He expresses great joy at making “music”. Start to finish this company came though with 5 stars.

Didn’t like the item

Didn’t like the item. Given 48 hours turnaround. Impossible thus far to turn around due to inaccessible return code.

Hi April,

I'm glad to say this one has a good ending: your return was completed and your order has been fully refunded, with the refund in your account for a while now. We've also emailed you directly to confirm everything.

I'm sorry the start was bumpy. Our self-service return portal finds your order using the order number or email address from your original purchase, and when they don't match, it can't locate the order, which is what blocked you at first. Our team helped sort it out shortly after, and your feedback is a nudge for us to make that step clearer in the portal itself, so thank you for that.

Returns should feel as easy as ordering, April, and we'll keep working until they do. If there's anything else at all, just reply to our email, we're always happy to hear from you.

Love the Panda

Love the Panda! It is my second one. Bought for our 3 yo granddaughter. I like the tone of the larger ones but this is perfect for her!

The best customer service I have ever experienced. In fact at one point I thought it too good to be true and my purchase would never materialize. Customer service was always very quick to respond to my concerns. The Drum arrived one day later than expected but frankly it was probably just a postal lag which is pretty common. My daughter in law LOVES the Drum and so do her girls; looks like a couple more drums may be headed their way to complete their drum band…who knows, maybe I’ll join in too 😊 Very impressed with the Customer Service looking out for my concerns; delivery a day late but not a fault of Panda Drum! Incredible customer service should win some type of award! Hope you can tell how happy we all are with Panda Drum and its Representatives.

I can't imagine another musical instrument, that can relax every part of our body and changes our state within seconds. Kudos to you all!

My son and grandson are coming to see me in a few days. My grandson is bringing the Pandra Drum, my son is bringing his drum from home. I accompany them with my Tamborin, which I have been playing for 25 years. Soooo, we are excited to see what we come up with. If we can video, I'll send you the link.
Blessings your way. I'm sure I'll purchase a Panda Drum soon.

Great Product & Excellent Customer Sevice!

Bought myself a Panda Drum for my birthday and just love it!! I am definitely not a musician by any stretch, but thoroughly enjoy the sound healing aspect. There was a slight problem with the drum upon arrival, but Jessica was absolutely incredible in making sure everything was just right—wonderful customer service, indeed!

Hi Thomas,

You were right to be frustrated, and I'm sorry. For 2 days our responses were slower than the standard we hold ourselves to, and it left you feeling unheard. That should never happen, least of all to someone simply asking for help with a return.

The good news: your return was completed and your refund has been fully processed, so everything is resolved on your end. We've also written to you personally.

Thank you for your patience with us, Thomas. We're a small team, and every customer genuinely matters here, even when a return is the outcome. We'd welcome you back any time, and either way, we wish you well.

I am really enjoying these drums

I am really enjoying these drums. I’m actually making up my own music instead of using the music book which I will look at also. My grandson has ADHD and I let him use them the other day. He seemed to enjoy them. If he continues to use it, I’m going to give him these drums, and order myself the pro size. These also make great gifts.

Excellent Customer Service!

Excellent Customer Service!
Bought for our Grandson who has moderate to severe autism. Music therapy is included in his IEP to help his verbalizing. I look forward to him using the drum for not only language but soothing him when stressed.

Love the feeling that the tones of the drum create - supporting my meditation practice and my counseling practice. Would love to know how much richer the sound of the larger model is. Would have purchased it - but for the price.

Your small team are giants in my eyes and heart ! From the moment I opened the box and played the drum to the moment I gave it to my grandson it was pure joy ! Sounds of peace, love, joy! And a child who loves it so much he plays it everyday …. Thank you for being good and honest with your advertisements … this is a wonderful tool for anyone and everyone.
I am buying a few more (one for myself and two for Christmas gifts)…
I recommended this to others already ! (Including a memory care center where I volunteer)
