I am considering ordering one of these . Does anyone have any experience with these? I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks

None. I usually just make my own. There's no shortage of used/unused bass-drum pedals...... and other things...... maybe not as pretty.

I guess I could just take a Hollow box and stick a mic in it and roll off the hi's and mids and get a foot strap on tambourine?

I have one. I have the shaker and the Tamb attachments. It's a great product in design and execution. My one problem with it is that I underestimated how fit drummers legs are. I tire very quickly playing it, but then I'm in my 60s and this may not be an issue for others.

I'm getting right there with you age wise. Does it work equally as well with your heel? i would think that sitting down and using your heel wouldn't be as tiring .
Also, i probably wouldn't use it for every song , just a select few. Maybe with a blues tempo.

Well I have no experience with these, but now I totally want one! I had been thinking of getting some shoe tambourines 'cause foot tapping on the regular tambourine doesn't really work, but these look much cooler!

Christmas list material, for sure. Thanks for posting!

Going to my heel was my first thought. It was a good one, but alas, this too was tiring...better but tiring nonetheless. I find that I unfortunately don't use it anymore. I am gonna gift it to my vibrant 25 yr old son, who is a guitarist.
