Can someone help me understand what it is about the Riq that carries such a hefty price tag? I've had a quick search around on google but haven't found any answers yet. After considering the obvious such as quality of materials and construction methods, I'm still struggling to grasp why they cost the amount that they do. I think they sound beautiful, though I imagine it will be a long time before I get the opportunity to own one or to try one in person.

Hi Paul,
Which ones have you seen and what price ranges were they in? There are entry level Riqs available for around US$200 with a very good tone. Cheaper ones are also available from Remo of course.
Then there are pro level Riqs that start to creep up through the US$400 + range. There are many hours of work that go into crafting these drums. Also, the zills really add to the price. Good zills, that is. Does that help?
