It’s a tambourine and sounds like one. Not too bright, not too dark. Good accent, good volume. When I was browsing for tambourine’s, almost every reviewer of all product said it was too heavy. And if you’re wondering, yeah it’s hard to continually play 16ths notes for a couple minutes straight. But see it as a challenge.
Other than that, look for something with enough value. It’s mean to stand out and you can always play a loud product soft. You can’t play a soft product loud😉
