Careful identification seems to have these brands: colorful drum, ethereal drum, worry-free drum, worry-free drum, Himalayan drum and so on.
It is almost not much different from the detailed description of the store.
The main selling points of this kind of drums are almost the same: ethereal sound, quiet Zen, easy to learn, hand-made, integrating religion, culture and art.
It's too hard to choose. Prices are also uneven, ranging from a few hundred yuan to three or five thousand yuan. Whether the seller's description is true or not, and what is the real experience of the product, we choose the "empty drum" with the largest sales volume in Taobao and the "color empty drum" with relatively high price to compare the real experience. The following comments are expected to be helpful to your choice of tongue drum.
1, model and price
In Taobao, "Tongue Drum" is the key word to search stores, and the sales volume ranks first. We chose a matte white 8-tone tongue drum with a diameter of 750px at a price of 1080 yuan.
Search for the keyword "color empty drum" in Taobao to find the official authentic store. We choose a matte white 8-tone tongue drum with a diameter of 750px, and the price is 34 19 yuan.
Note: Due to sensitive contents such as store name, the purchase information is not displayed here.
In terms of selling price, the price of colored drums is 3. 17 times that of ethereal drums. The prices are really different.
2. Outer packaging
Judging from the outer packaging box, colored drums are more professional, and the first impression of brands is better than ethereal drums. For self-use consumers, the outer packaging only bears the transportation value, so it is not the most important factor, but the essence of the product is the most critical.
3. A sense of wholeness
On the whole, there is little difference in the appearance of the two drums, and the gifts and accessories are relatively complete. Color space is relatively unified in the design of drum tongue and the Chinese style of drum package in the cultural connotation of products.
The same matte white, empty drum white is beige warm, empty drum is cyan cold.
4. comparison of gifts
Note: The demonstration of the wordless music score of the ethereal drum is inconsistent with the reality. You can look at the place marked by the red arrow. The actual position of bass 6 is directly above, but it is on the top right in the schematic diagram.
The score of an ethereal drum is almost the same as that of an empty drum. It can basically be judged that the music score of the ethereal drum is pirated. Of course, after all, the price difference is quite big. You can't be too hard on the details of the gift. Just copying blank music is also an infringement of intellectual property rights, and the ethereal drum is not well done.
5. Comparison of workmanship
Note: the description of the seller of the ethereal drum says that lettering can be done. We guess that the lettering mentioned by the seller should be to make metal stickers and stick them on the surface of the drum.
We have a link to the security code of the ethereal drum. The website is a general website, so you can check the authenticity. At the same time, I also visited the website with an empty heart, which showed that it was being maintained. After inquiring by the official customer service telephone of Color Air, it is proved that the products purchased are official and genuine.
After investigation, this tongue drum is welded by upper and lower parts. Whether the surface is polished and painted smoothly depends on the diameter.
Through the comparison of the two types of drum ceremony and appearance, it is really "a point for a price."
The normal color of the heart is empty, and the logo, anti-counterfeiting and gifts are fine from painting to details.
Of course, we still feel that, after all, the prices vary greatly, and it is normal for products to differ in these aspects.
The previous comparison is only for the outside, as a sound product. The core is to look at the quality of the sound. Whether it is as described by the seller: "ethereal voice", accurate pitch and pure timbre.
Note: The following videos were recorded by non-professional equipment. We try to keep the noise to a minimum so that everyone can distinguish it carefully. Because field effect is closely related to space. This product takes the effect of * * * as an important basis to judge whether it is good or bad. The collision of sound with air, space walls and body bones can not be completely sampled by ordinary equipment. If you can hear the difference through the video, the difference on the spot will be more obvious.
