I just bought one last night, after earning about 103 points from 23 successes in Mistmoore Catacombs. I'm half-way through level 43 now.
I love it, love it, love it.
First of all, the drum graphic is huge, much larger than the Walrus Skin Drum that I was using. It's also a warmer color of wood with some nice gold too. It looks very impressive.
Second, the CHR and AC really add up, especially at this level. Helps with mezzing when I've discarded the wind instrument, we're in the middle of a fight, and we get an add anyway.
Finally, I don't have to juggle when I want to use Chant of Battle or Selo's or Katta's or any other drum-based song.
