I received my Omni a couple of days ago. I love it! It is my first experience with Hapi or any type of steel drum. I think its great. Very nice tone, comfortable to play, and cool look. I hope it will eventually be available in a minor scale, but this one is so fun that I've had a hard time putting it down for the last two days. I like it so much that I just ordered another drum to go with it. I'm going with the Hapi Bell this time.

From the moment I laid my hands on it, I was transported to a world of soul-stirring melodies and calming rhythms. Prepare to be amazed!

The note arrangement is way more intuitive compared to any other brand I have tried, and own. ~It feels like an extension of me.

My only dilemma was what key to get it in ( F major) but hey, the pans little brother might need a G major sister, and a mini in D Akebono cousin, and a ...

I just received the new Omni Drum, Wow what a beauty! The resonance and depth are off the charts (as usual) and this new model is right at home with my other Hapi Drums.
