I've always seen them being like $20+ and thought, "eh...not THAT cool", but yesterday I found them at the World Bazaar in the Galleria Mall for $4.99! I just had to have it right then!
The store is located on the top floor between Penney's and Macy's and is open for about another 2 weeks. They had about a dozen still in stock. The one I bought is 4 ft tall and they had some larger, some smaller. They also had some djembe's there (various sizes) though I can't vouch for them being any good. Prices were good on those too so maybe not a bad gift for a beginner.
