Review: "Tiny and super-light, it sounds very pretty if struck delicately (which can be tricky to do under normal playing conditions). But its small size makes it difficult to strike and then "choke" with the other hand. (It just moves too quickly.) Additionally, it's of absolutely no use if hit too hard. As a result, it might have more application for a percussionist than for a drum set player."
