Great low cost octobans
G-Evans 28.04.2018
For some reason the alternatives for getting octobans are crazy prices.

These are great value. The milennium hardware on the stands is good. Although the design seems to have changed. The version i have use tom arms like pearl tom arms, two tubes with a pivot joint in the middle. Whereas they seem to be ball joint and L-rods now like tama toms. Personally i dont like ball joints, i prefer the reliability of a solid arm. However i admit they are a little limited in positions with those arms as the teeth inside the mechanicsm limits possible angles but after a while of tinkering you can get them where you want them. L-rods have their own limits but in terms of micro adjustments of angles if thats what you want then the new design will likely be better for you.

The heads that come with them sound good.

All round just good value for money, an excellent way to add more range of percussive sounds to a kit. well worth buying both sets of sizes so you have the full 4 available octobans.

One thing i would say is, it's OCTObans thomann. where are the other 4 sizes? I'd buy them in a heart beat.

These are amazing

These Octobans sound great. I really wanted to add Octobans to my prog metal kit and found other brands to be quite expensive.

I wasn't sure what these would sound like and I have to say they really do sound great.

For miking purposes I put a dynamic mic underneath each pair of Octobans and I find this yields a good result.

The only downside to these is the hardware. They cannot be mounted at a great height due to the short stands so I would advise having some spare clamps to attach these to a rack if you have one.

A good copy

I actually bought these to take apart and fit to custom built acrylic tubes to make my own Octobans. However before I took them apart I did play them and certainly after putting some decent Remo heads on they sounded fine and fit for purpose.

Bark
Anonymous 20.01.2017
What a great add on to my drums, I bought both this and Low set, they both work so well with a meaty bark that beats out rhythmic accents and fills with aural pleasing tones. Easily these can hold their percussive heads up high with the more expensive counterparts. A great alternative sound to my drum arsenal and a bargain to boot.

good quality metal shells, sturdy stand, sounds the real deal and great quality for the money. I have wanted a set of Tama Octobans for years but could never justify the cost, very happy to have discovered these!

millenium OB-6180 octoban set high
Anonymous 08.04.2015
I was interested in these after hearing mike portnoy using them, that was the sound I wanted and I got what I was looking for, these sound great, the stands are as good as pearl just cant fault them and I have had mine for about 3 years now, still going strong and on original heads too, I have recorded them many times and am never disappointed with the results, and when you compare to the price of the few available on the market I would recommend them in a second, one happy drummer!, thanks thomann
