I bought both the 8" and 10" PDP Mini Timbales to supplement my 5-piece kit. Being a new drummer, I didn't want to drop a ton of money before I had some real drummer chops, and PDP, being an offshoot of DW, seemed a reasonable compromise. The difference between the 2 brands, as I understand is that PDP is the more "line manufactured" of the two, where DW is mostly about custom, but the engineering for both is similar. Each timbale ran me about $50 a piece. Excellent cost-to-value.
I gotta say I'm pretty pleased with these timbales. The are solid and well built, no discernible defects, nice steel shells, and the stock heads (to my ear) aren't bad either. They arrived in about 5 days (super saver) and were packaged nicely. Both drums needed to be tuned up "timbale tight" (uses just a regular drum key for tuning), and both mounted nicely to my DW cymbal straight/boom stand using (2) individual Sound Percussion SPH03 Adjustable L-Rod Ball Clamp, 10.5mm rod - 1 clamp for each timbale.
NOTE: The rod you need for these is the 10.5mm (approx. 3/8") width rod - THEY WILL NOT FIT ON a 1/2" rod (trust me, I know this for a fact :)
I've got these guys mounted to the left of, and nestled in flush w/ my 12" tom, just behind the snare and between the hi-hats and the toms (I'm right-handed). Makes 5-point fills very easy for me. (Again, I'm a new drummer, so I'm still figuring things out as I go).
I would absolutely recommend these mini timbales to anyone looking to accessorize their stock kit without dropping a huge chunk of coin.

I wanted to add a 10" piccolo tom to my kit. I was ready to purchase one made by DW at more than twice the price of this mini timbale. So I came across this little gem on Amazon. At less than 50 bucks, I thought it was too good to be true. Man, I couldn't have been more wrong. This thing is made out of good quality materials with an excellent fit and finish. I replaced the original head with another I had laying around. And I could not be more pleased. Now I'm considering an 8" to go with it.
