Meinl Percussion os Hand Drum Set 6.5" and 7.5" with Synthetic Shells and Tuning Key — NOT Made in China — Journey Series, 2-Year Warranty (HB50BK)

The superb craftsmanship of MEINL Headliner Series os dominates in sound quality, appearance, durability and value. These os are equipped with hand selected buffalo heads that are easy to tune and stay in tune while delivering classic o sounds. Quickly adjust the tuning by turning the lugs with the provided wrench. The hand picked heads have outstanding acoustic properties and are durable enough for the heavier hitters. The shells are constructed of ABS plastic that is lightweight and rugged with voluminous resonating tones that respond beautifully at any volume level. Paired with our Headliner Series Con, these os are an excellent start or finish to your percussion set up! These are also great to sit down and play with a cajon. The Meinl Cajon Height o Stand (Model# THBS-S-BK) for seated players will also allow you to comfortably set os up with your cajon or drum kit. MEINL Headliner Series os come equipped with soft rubber feet for safe storage and playing on smooth surfaces.

• OUR MOST SOLID OS: their hard-to-damage, thick synthetic shells can take a lot more abuse than traditional wood; plus, they won't expand or contract during changes in weather which can affect tuning.
• WHY IT MATTERS: you get to play more without hassle since the os require little to no maintenance; Journey Series os are always ready to go from beaches to parks to open mic night.
• ONE TAKEAWAY: their sound doesn’t fall short of wood os because we use humanely sourced buffalo rawhide for the heads; most higher-end os have the same heads, so you're getting consistent, authentic sound full of warmth, depth, and clarity.
• HOW TO ADJUST PITCH: includes a tuning wrench to make quick adjustments or head changes; tighten the steel tension rods for a higher pitch and loosen to drop pitch (os come pre-tuned but may require some adjustment).
• BY THE NUMBERS: the heads measure 6 ½” and 7 ½” (an industry standard); the os are 7" tall and weigh 6.3 lbs with a standard size synthetic connection block that fits any stand (o stand sold separately).
• ZOOM IN: our rounded rims sit below the heads so your hands don't make contact with the steel hardware while playing; you can fully engage without hurting your palms.
• THE BOTTOM LINE: they'll do the trick anywhere like acoustic shows, studios, in praise bands or campsite sing-alongs, and it doesn't matter what your skill level is; they're easy to play whether you're a drummer or singer with no percussion experience.
• THE BIG PICTURE: Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturer and brand established 1951 in Germany; our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality.
