I ordered a PandaDrum on September…

I ordered a PandaDrum on September 30,2025, for my grandchildren. I waited weeks and then emailed and was told it was back ordered. I asked for refund and never received it. This is a horrible company, no phone number for service, which is illegal for a public company. If you read the reviews , their are many others who have had the same issue. My bank is looking into them.

We sincerely apologize for the delay with your order, especially given it was intended for your grandchildren. You shouldn’t have had to wait and chase us for updates.

We reached out to you directly to make it right — expedited replacement shipped, and you should have everything resolved now.

A wonderful experience

Panda drum pro is a wonderful instrument. Beautiful soothing sounds and so peaceful. Im using the drum with the 50 pro songs for meditation. A beautiful looking instrument too. I highly recommend panda drum pro to anyone looking for a beautiful peaceful way to meditate and enter a state of calm.

I purchased the Panda Pro

I purchased the Panda Pro. The G was a little flat but all other notes beautiful clear spiritual. I notified the company. Upon hearing my G they agreed and are sending me a new one. And I can keep the other. Which I will donate bWhat an excellent company. They truly stand behind their drums and even with the flat G. I have enjoyed the drum. A company you can trust A drum u can enjoy and leave your stress behind. Thank you

30 days post shipment and product not delivered

30 days post shipment and product not delivered tracking number does not work in their system. I have no idea if and when it will arrive. I have never done business with a company that provides false information on shipping times. I ordered the drum for my grandsons birth day. Disappointed to say the least. I plan to write to the Better Business Bureau and talk to my attorney after reading many similar reviews. Order date was listed as January 2026 and as of Feb 17th I have only received a message that it is on its way. Tracking number is useless.

Hi Jack,

Sorry your grandson’s birthday got caught up in this. Your package was stuck in transit and the tracking should’ve been updated way sooner. Once we saw it, we shipped an expedited replacement from our US warehouse with new tracking within 24 hours, and it arrived a few days later.

We’re tightening up our tracking and communication so this stops happening. Thank you for your patience.

#1 in Customer Service

I am absolutely amazed by the superior level of service I received from the customer support rep, Harvey Smith, of Panda Drum. He responded to my request quickly, solved my problem with an actual solution and literally stayed in my inbox until after the product was delivered, to ensure that the product was delivered to my satisfaction. In all my 30 years of being an adult, I had never had such amazing service....especially online....like this before. Please give this man a raise and place him in the highest level possible in your organization because it is clear that he truly CARES for the customer. As an HR professional, I can attest to this as a soft skill that absolutely cannot be trained and one that, over time and repetition, can make or break the reputation of an organization. Thank you for restoring my faith that an organization today can provide genuine, excellent service!!

Top Notch!!

I ordered the Pro for my wife and was very impressed by the quality of the drum. It came with a case that rivals most of the nicer soft case manufactures, a song book to get started and some pretty decent mallets to start out. The tone is clear and projects well for the size of the drum and is very comfortable to use with the shallow shape vs other Pan drums I’ve seen. Aside from the excellent quality of the drum itself I was lucky enough to have made a mistake in picking the correct color of drum when I ordered it, and reached out to customer service to change the color before they shipped it out. I got a reply within the same day and they went above and beyond to make it happen and kept me informed through the process. I haven’t encountered this level of care from any company that I’ve ordered any product from. The whole experience was impressive and I would highly recommend this drum/company to anyone!

Great Communication, slow delivery from China…

While the communication between Sarah Evans and her team was fantastic, have to applaud her for also taking care of my friend's case received with a broken zipper. She just received a hard case in place. However a downside is waiting for shipment. Sarah mentioned there are 3 locations, U.S., Norway and China. We both lucked out with China (was not given a choice) and had to wait 16 business days to receive.

Just got the drums, they exceed expectations!

Just got the drums. Their quality is astounding- the carrying cases themselves are easily worth $50.
I think this is the first Instagram ad I ever went for where the product exceeded my expectations. Quality is off the charts, and the small touches like the knitted muting caps for the mallets and the elegant stitching around the drum, to the perfect paint finish.
I am over the moon with my purchase, and will tell anybody who will listen just how great these drums are!!

Fantastic People

The kind people at Panda Drum promptly shipped a replacement when my hubby's Christmas present was lost in the mail. Then, they were right there for us when he was having trouble getting the hang of it.
Fantastic product, fantastic company.

Horrific Customer Service

I see the raves on line, but I certainly cannot rave about customer service. On Sept. 10, I ordered 2 drums and the bands for 2 grandsons, brothers.
It three weeks to get one and the other only arrived after emailing “where is it?”.
Then I received one band with a comment that the other was back ordered.
Finally two months later the other band arrived stating that the bands that hold the decorative bands in place.
Finally, on Christmas Eve ONE band showed up.
I immediately requested the second with Erin Collins, the agent signing each email apologizing for the ridiculously
bad service.!
When my boys opened their gifts, one had felt pads on his drum sticks and stickers for enhancing the recognition of the notes. The other boys accessory bag had both of those missing.
I immediately shot off another email requesting those items and a second band.
An email was sent promising the missing items. Now, 2 weeks later, nothing has been received.
I had never had any such horrid, apathetic response for any other purchase in my 78 years.
I cannot endorse or recommend this company.
The instrument is nice, but buy from anyone else.

Hi Elsie,

First, we want to sincerely apologize for the experience you had, especially during the holidays. The shipping delays and the communication gaps were certainly not acceptable, and we completely understand the disappointment you felt.

We want to confirm that all the missing accessories were delivered. While we know this doesn't erase the previous frustration or the time it took to get to you and your family, we are glad to read that you liked the quality of the drums.

We are very committed to doing better for our customers, and we don’t take your feedback lightly. We are continuing to work hard to improve our support and shipping processes.

Thank you for your patience while we sorted everything out together. We truly hope the drums are bringing some joy to your grandsons.

Ordered and paid for four drums…

Ordered and paid for four drums 12/4/25. As of 1/9/26 the order is still missing two drums. Their communication and tracking is frustrating. Don’t buy from them.
After posting this review we were contacted via email and did receive all drums. The quality of the product is high and did meet our expectations. However the shipping and tracking is subpar.

Hi Valerie,

Thank you so much for taking the time to update your review. We are genuinely happy to hear that your drums arrived safely and that the quality met your expectations! We’re so glad you’re enjoying them.

We also want to sincerely apologize again for the frustration caused by the carrier splitting your shipment and the lack of clear tracking. That isn't the experience we want for our customers. Once we realized the original shipment was mishandled, we were glad to get the replacements expedited to you within 24 hours and issue a refund as a gesture of goodwill for the long wait.

We’ve taken your feedback seriously and are already working on improving our tracking communication. Thank you for your patience and for giving us another chance to make things right.

Warm regards,
The Panda Drum Team

I ordered the family bundle of 3 drums…

I ordered the family bundle of 3 drums and only received one drum today. The tracking email I received upon shipment stated all three drums were shipped. I emailed the company and advised them I only received one drum. They responded and I was told "your case is being transferred to a specialist who will look into the missing items and get this sorted for you as soon as possible".......... I am hoping this gets resolved right away. I have a picture of the package showing the size as well as the shipping label listing the weight of 5.665881lbs. Clearly there is no way three drums shipped in this package. I will update this review once it is resolved. I also had no idea this was shipping from China until I received my tracking email.

**UPDATE** Customer service went above and beyond to make sure the issue was resolved. I am very pleased with the results. I highly recommend

Smiles all around

I ordered the drum for my husband as a Christmas present. I was concerned it would arrive before the big day. I contacted Panda with my concern. I received immediate feedback and they stayed in contact until I received my drum. My husband is enjoying the drum even more than I imagined. Several guests have enjoyed also. Panda was professional, helpful and efficient. I would highly recommend them. Great to do business with, quality product. Smiles all around.

I wanted a simple musical instrument

I wanted a simple musical instrument that I could play spontaneously, without a lot of setup, and the Panda Drum has worked well for me. It lives on a table where I can just pick up the sticks and play soothing sounds or figure out how to play songs. It's just what I was looking for!

Outstanding Customer Service!

I’m leaving a 5 star rating due to Panda’s impressive customer support. My Panda Pro arrived with a tuning defect, but after I contacted support, the resolution was efficient and quick with zero hassle and friendly communication. The replacement drum is perfect. I love the sound and so does my furry friend!

We had a shipping issue that was handled immediately and so very kindly by Michaela. I can’t wait to hear what my son says about the drum. I’m very excited to have him receive it as a Christmas gift. I will up date this review after that but I expect joy and gratefulness to be my feeling.
