I have to say I'm a little embarrassed to be writing this review, if only because I bought this for my daughter Ursula and then never gave it to her. Like VH1, I really believe in the educational value of music, especially since I was in a Doors tribute band in high school. (I played tambourine.) So I got this for my daughter but when it came and I opened the box, it really WAS a *Professional* tambourine, not a kid's toy. Since she's only 16, I thought I would keep it for her graduation. As I was putting it away, it made that fateful jingle and I got all a-tingle. I started to strum it and high school came back to me, headgear and all. So I took it with me to work the next day (at Wendy's) and I was A HIT with all the junior employees, who started calling me "Mr. Tambourine Man" as I worked the register and gave every customer a little thank-you ditty I called "Tring-a-ling-ling value!"

But the best part was later that week when I went to the Creed/Black Flag concert at the fairgrounds, and took my tambourine, naturally. As Black Flag was warming up, I was striking my tambourine and marching back and forth in front of the pit (like Gene Debs at the Haymarket), when Henry Rollins pulled me up on stage! At first I was a little scared because he's so big and sweaty and doesn't wear shoes, but then I realized that he wanted me to sit in on "My War" and I felt kind of like Courtney Cox in that Springsteen video. And I danced too!

One thing though--Henry broke the skin over my heiney as the last chorus came around, so I have to give this product a lower rating on durability.
