I love the drums I purchased

I love the drums I purchased. Not only are they beautiful, they sound lovely, even for a novice like me. I actually bought them for my granddaughters birthday but we all enjoy playing them.
Customer service was absolutely great, when I had a slight problem with delivery, they responded quickly to my email and tracked it until it was delivered, giving me regular updates. I will buy again!

Panda drums are soothing and excellent for sensory sensitive children

I received a drum which was damaged during shipping and Jesus at Panda went out of his way to make things right. My original negative review was based on slow shipping method and judgement of a drum which was out of tune due to shipping damage. Panda credited me for the drum, sent a replacement and Jesus has taken ownership of the case and the replacement process to assure everything would go as promised. If you order and have an unlikely negative experience, they will make it right. While there is no customer service contact phone number to call, if you fill out the email form, they are able to contact you by phone to address the issue if it cannot be resolved via email. I appreciate Jesus and the extra effort put forth to correct the problem.

Don't expect a full refund I am missing 199.30 from my bank after a refund they only refunded me 66 dollars.

Upon doing a refund It says that the refund is fully processed but it is not. I am still missing almost $200 dollars from the purchase. Their team is super responsive - the product came beautiful and extra quality compared to their competitors because of the nice bag and essential items that came with it. However I am still trying to sort out with their team, Panda Drum Affirm, and Shopify which is confusing because all parties are denying responsibility and keep asking me to ask one another because none of them can do anything. It should not be this difficult to process a refund. Beware of this!!

Hi Jenni, thank you for the kind words about the product and our team, and we're sorry this refund has been confusing. The good news: nothing is missing.

You purchased through Affirm on a monthly installment plan. That means Affirm was paying us in your place, and your bank was only ever charged the first installment, about $66. The remaining installments were never taken from your account.

When your return arrived on August 9, we refunded the full order amount to Affirm the same day. What happens next is standard: Affirm returns to you exactly what you actually paid (your $66 installment) and cancels the rest of the plan, so the remaining ~$199 simply never gets charged. You can confirm this in your Affirm account, the loan should show as closed with a $0 balance.

So the "missing" $199 isn't money that left your bank, it's money that will now never leave it. We've also emailed you directly with the exact dates and amounts. If your Affirm account shows anything different, reply to that email and we'll get on a call with Affirm ourselves until it's fixed.

Panda Drum not only provides great relaxing tones, they also have a wonderful caring customer service team!

Panda Drum not only provides great relaxing tones but also its customer support team are so delightful to interact with. They respond quickly and show concern for the customer. Everyone who likes to give themselves and their families time for relaxation and calm should buy themselves a Panda Drum. It doesn’t disappoint! Plus you have a legitimate company whose Customer Support team provides you excellent service!

I love Panda Drum and the people in the company for providing caring customer service!

I had a problem where I ordered my drum and an additional book, but the additional book did not come. I called and got no response but when I wrote a review, then I was contacted. I received the money back for the extra book in a timely manner. I really would’ve rather had the book, but at least the matter was cleared.

Paid for an expensive one and not good

Paid for an expensive one. Sound is not loud. Not good for groups. A real disappointment and then, right after I bougjt the expensive one it went on sale 1/2 price. It’s not great. I would not recommend.

Hi Julie,

A quick correction on the price, because it matters: your order was placed at our sale price of $259.95, about half of the $499.95 regular price. The price didn't drop after your purchase, you bought at the lowest price we offer. Current pricing is always visible at pandadrum.com/pages/collection.

On the sound: our drums are personal instruments first, designed for playing close up, for relaxation and focus, and that's how we present them. We don't advertise them as group instruments. They can carry a room with good acoustics, and placement makes a real difference, playing over a hard surface projects much more than playing on your lap. Our larger models are also noticeably louder and fuller.

Julie, we've reached out to you by email, and whatever you decide, we'll take care of you. Whether that's helping you get more out of your drum, exchanging it, or a simple return and refund, we'll do whatever we can to make this right. Your happiness with the instrument matters more to us than the sale.

Pleased with Panda Drum in every aspect

I ordered the mini panda drum directly from the company. I am very pleased with the customer service. I had received an email that my order would be delivered that day and it was not. I emailed the company and received a reply immediately. Advising the email was in error, how to track the package and she would personally follow up. I received my drum in a timely manner. I received an another email wanting to be sure the package it had gotten to me.
I bought the mini drum for my 3 year old non-verbal autistic grandson. He expresses great joy at making “music”. Start to finish this company came though with 5 stars.

Didn’t like the item

Didn’t like the item. Given 48 hours turnaround. Impossible thus far to turn around due to inaccessible return code.

Hi April,

I'm glad to say this one has a good ending: your return was completed and your order has been fully refunded, with the refund in your account for a while now. We've also emailed you directly to confirm everything.

I'm sorry the start was bumpy. Our self-service return portal finds your order using the order number or email address from your original purchase, and when they don't match, it can't locate the order, which is what blocked you at first. Our team helped sort it out shortly after, and your feedback is a nudge for us to make that step clearer in the portal itself, so thank you for that.

Returns should feel as easy as ordering, April, and we'll keep working until they do. If there's anything else at all, just reply to our email, we're always happy to hear from you.

Love the Panda

Love the Panda! It is my second one. Bought for our 3 yo granddaughter. I like the tone of the larger ones but this is perfect for her!

The best customer service I have ever…

The best customer service I have ever experienced. In fact at one point I thought it too good to be true and my purchase would never materialize. Customer service was always very quick to respond to my concerns. The Drum arrived one day later than expected but frankly it was probably just a postal lag which is pretty common. My daughter in law LOVES the Drum and so do her girls; looks like a couple more drums may be headed their way to complete their drum band…who knows, maybe I’ll join in too 😊 Very impressed with the Customer Service looking out for my concerns; delivery a day late but not a fault of Panda Drum! Incredible customer service should win some type of award! Hope you can tell how happy we all are with Panda Drum and its Representatives.

I can't imagine another musical instrument, that can relax every part of our body and changes our state within seconds. Kudos to you all!

My son and grandson are coming to see me in a few days. My grandson is bringing the Pandra Drum, my son is bringing his drum from home. I accompany them with my Tamborin, which I have been playing for 25 years. Soooo, we are excited to see what we come up with. If we can video, I'll send you the link.
Blessings your way. I'm sure I'll purchase a Panda Drum soon.

Great Product & Excellent Customer Sevice!

Bought myself a Panda Drum for my birthday and just love it!! I am definitely not a musician by any stretch, but thoroughly enjoy the sound healing aspect. There was a slight problem with the drum upon arrival, but Jessica was absolutely incredible in making sure everything was just right—wonderful customer service, indeed!

Hi Thomas,

You were right to be frustrated, and I'm sorry. For 2 days our responses were slower than the standard we hold ourselves to, and it left you feeling unheard. That should never happen, least of all to someone simply asking for help with a return.

The good news: your return was completed and your refund has been fully processed, so everything is resolved on your end. We've also written to you personally.

Thank you for your patience with us, Thomas. We're a small team, and every customer genuinely matters here, even when a return is the outcome. We'd welcome you back any time, and either way, we wish you well.

I am really enjoying these drums

I am really enjoying these drums. I’m actually making up my own music instead of using the music book which I will look at also. My grandson has ADHD and I let him use them the other day. He seemed to enjoy them. If he continues to use it, I’m going to give him these drums, and order myself the pro size. These also make great gifts.
