[narayanadas]

hi excuse me im from argentina here we can`t find this things can you tell me how much is one of this?¿

[SpikeFinch]

@narayanadas Hi there, I added the site info in the description above... Thanks -Spike

[EBE246]

Woah I've never seen this thing, it's sick as hell. look out of this world extra terrestrial.

Anyways, nice job.

[Cypher3212]

so did you stop making them with that decal? i really wanted to get one.

[SpikeFinch]

@Cypher3212 Hi there, I still build them with that graphic, however, it is not a decal, it is painted on. You can get full details from the site. exoticvessels(dot)com/zentambo­ur Thanks -Spike

[glowspaz]

do u sell these, or where did u get it?

Thank you

[SpikeFinch]

@glowspaz Hi there, Yes I do. You can get full details at exoticvessels(dot)com/zentambo­ur However, that is a very old model I no longer build. The new Zens are much better.. Thanks -Spike

[ChristianPutter1]

@SpikeFlinch oh yes yes thanks I realize that :) when I said this I was referring to a zen tambour in general :) well I had a great sigh of relief when you said yes because I don't feel like taking up a usual and common sounding instrument, but rather looks amazing aswell as sounds amazing

[SpikeFinch]

@ChristianPutter1 Thank you!

[ChristianPutter1]

@SpikeFlinch oh no I've been dreading this question do you ship this to south Africa ? If not I'm going to be very very sad:(

[SpikeFinch]

@ChristianPutter1 Yes I do... I never have yet, but looks like USPS will in fact ship to South Africa.. Shipping would be $108us Hope this helps some... -Spike

[SpikeFinch]

@ChristianPutter1 But remember that this is a older Zen that I no longer build. I only build the 18" Zen right now... But will soon be offering the 14" (i Hope)

[ChristianPutter1]

@SpikeFlinch Wow :) someone on a YouTube channel replied :D I'll be checking those videos soon and oh I just want to say the art work you do is amazing :)

[ChristianPutter1]

Hey I might be a client of yours soon:) but I really need to know if you could play this instrument faster with more of a beat. Now I don't mean rage music because I know it supposed to be soothing but could you play it with a faster tempo and it would sound good? Please get back to me. Thanks in advance

[SpikeFinch]

@ChristianPutter1 It can be done... but not be me... I am not that good at playing...

Have a look at exoticvessels(dot)com/zentambo­ur/videos.html

Dear Santa...

[SpikeFinch]

@OHKooIceMan Dat funny....

[dakotamanomgwtf]

@OHKooIceMan Exactly what I was thinking

[adamdrummer101]

Absolutely gorgeous instrument and great sound. I love the individuality in the various designs you have. If I didn't already have too many instruments that I can't play, I would probably be very tempted!

[SpikeFinch]

@adamdrummer101 Thank you... that is the ulgy olds ones... the new ones look and sound much better now.. exoticvessels(dot)com/zentambo­ur

[geboy5]

sounds sweet :)

[ixia1]

What a great bit of kit!

[Rudog67]

I love the sound...soon, I will have one too hopefully be able to play. If not, it will look awesome on the mantle. Your music moves me!

[SpikeFinch]

@Rudog67 Thank you for your kind words. This is a very old Zen....

[Rudog67]

I love the sound...soon, I will have one too hopefully be able to play. If not, it will look awesome on the mantle. Your music moves me!

[LilyISay]

Now THAT's gorgeous tone. Good job.

[SpikeFinch]

@LilyISay Thank you.

[NayaBlu]

This is by far the prettiest drum I found online - both in sound and appearance!! I can't help but ask - have you thought about selling your drums?

[SpikeFinch]

@NayaBlu Hi there, Yes, I do sell them. exoticvessels(dot)com/zentambo­ur

[newstart49]

I just have a couple of questions. How did you cut it? How do you know what size and shape to cut? How do you tune it? What metals work best? OK- that's more than one question- but it is beautiful and a job well done!!!

[SpikeFinch]

@newstart49 Hi there, On that one I used a jigsaw to make the cuts, but now I use a waterjet. It took a long time to figure out the best size and shape for the notes and I am still finding new ways.. I tune them by how long each cut is... the longer the cut, the lower the note. Standard mild steel works best.

[LaInspectora]

what a beautiful instrument.... sounds much closer to the hang drum, but much more beautiful looking! Will have to google you. :)

[SpikeFinch]

@LaInspectora Thank you for you kind words.. that was one of the older drums..

[SpikeFinch]

Thanks!

[loonbyn]

Your drums are looking better and sounding better all the time!

[SpikeFinch]

Um...  I built it.

[elford]

340 dollars??

[SpikeFinch]

They are $340US right now

[dusteroo]

[SpikeFinch]

[rptalk2me]
