I've been buying percussion for 20 years -- x8 is far and away the best. Hard to say what's best about these guys: Prices, Selection ,Great customer service, AND they keep improving their own name-brand drums. Bought one of their fiberglass djembes a few years back and ended up giving iit to a cousin. Last week I finally re-decided to buy the same drum again for myself - same name, same good price, but the head sounds even better than before!

DJEMBE YOU SAY?OR CHILDS DESK/TOY? X8 SELLS THIS TINY ORNAMENT AS IF ITS A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT, AS IF ITS A REAL DRUM FOR REAL PLAYING. IT IS NOT THESE TINY DECORATIONS ARE JUST FOR SITTING ON A DESKTOP AND CANNOT BE PLAYED AT ALL. IF IT DOESNT COST IN THE HUNDREDS AND ITS ON X8 SITE OR MUSICIANS FRIEND OR GUITAR CENTER OR WALMART, AMAZON AND EBAY OR CRAIGSLIST EVEN OFFER UP LET GO AND ETSY BEWARE THEY ARE NOTHING MORE THAN TOYS AND ORNAMENTS NOT DRUMS AT ALL CANT EVEN HIT IT WITH TWO HANDS AND ITS NOT GOAT SKIN AND WHO CARES ITS NOT A DRUM PERIOD I AM OFFENDED AT THE MUSIC STORES FOR TRICKING PEOPLE.

need to be more specific about product details. I came to X8 site, becuase my friends told me to buy X8 Otherwise, if i would have reached on your site on my own, then i doubt, i would buy product from your site. I think something need to be done to make it customer friendly and providing specific details about products, in order to make them enable to take their decision with confidence. I like on line support system you provide.

"payment plan" I really enjoyed the website and the descriptions given were helpful. However when I chose to sign up for the 6 month payment plan through paypal I was shocked that I was suddenly charged the full amount. It is also incredibly difficult to figure out how to contact someone about the issue with little solution,my card was charged right away. Thank goodness I didn't really need the payment plan??

Inspired me to purchase my Udu I was looking for an Udu and stumbled across the X8drums website. I was amazed and totally impressed by the layout and the different videos giving you a true idea of how your instruments sound. Which was very inspirational. The layout is great and it's very easy to navigate through the website which in turn makes you want to explore even further. Which I did and nearly found myself ordering more instruments. Which I didn't in the end as I'm have a tendency to be impulsive. I will definitely recommend this site to anyone looking for a great website and look forward to making further purchases. Probably in the very near future. Well done and keep up the great work. I'm impressed.
