Remo Shoulder Strap For Ext Tune Doumbek

It's not much, but it does the job of holding my darbuka.

I put this on my Alexandria 8-in. doumbek; the one where the pegs are inside the tuning ring, as opposed to gripping it from the outside like a Turkish-style doumbek. The strap fits the body by a rubber coated strap that goes around the body, and another nylon(?) ring of string that goes around the tuning peg. The string fit between the tuning ring and the drum and allowed me to tighten the head to it's full tightness, despite being there. Be warned; if you wanted to tune the drum so that the tuning ring touches the body, you would be unable to. However, you can get very very close. My only complaint is that the strap, even when pulled to it's shortest length, is still too short for my tastes. I am 5'7 and the drum sits just above my hip while standing, and slides just out of playing position while on my lap. Overall though, a good quality strap that is worth the money.

Very disappointing. Complete junk. Probably about $5 worth of materials. $15 would be a fair price. At $35. this is simply a rip off.The strap is very thin and looks cheap, and it's way too long. Even at its shortest it's too long, and I can't imagine who would possibly need it at it's longest. Maybe like a 7 foot tall person?The plastic part that goes around the drum slips, and the fastener keeps loosening.I would return it if there was another product, but unfortunately this is the only product offered, so I will keep it.Remo should be embarrassed to put their name on this, and even more embarrassed to write "Quality instruments, accessories & parts" on this. This is what I'd expect from a Chinese knockoff.

I love the idea of this piece of equipment, but the only issue is the latch that you use to attach it to the head of the drum- you cannot open it up. Instead you have to open the head of your drum and install the latch before closing the head again. That being said, a workaround can be achieved by attaching a piece of string to the latch and securing the string to the drum head latches. They could have just made a latch that opens up and closes securely instead of a permanently closed one.

Good quality, easy to install and adequate length

Easy to use. Am enjoying it.

Strap size too big. But works nice. Will order a prettier strap.

I like it. Its heavy duty
