I don't think it's going to incorporate well in anytype of amplified setting. Just a guess based on other pandiero's I've played with
I am really interested in checking this thing out, but $100ish is too much to buy one sight unseen. I am specifically wondering what kind of projection it has. It sounds awesome (of course) in the vids with Stanton playing it, but that is close mic'ed from the bottom. I don't know if I could count on that "mini bass drum sound" from it when not mic'ed.
For reference:
I'm not sure what the sound reinforcement is in this vid, maybe nothing...

We got one in the other day, its a great idea, comes with a mount that will fit most knurled rods. my only issue with it is that his signature sound is mostly because of the fact that its mic'd from underneath. that low attack bass drum with jingles sound doesn't come through acoustically very well. but otherwise cool product. wouldn't bother playing with your hands, this thing is pretty heavy.
I have his DVD and watch him play it with his set and liked it. Yes he has his mic'd and it does sound good. I have also watched a vid of someone else playing it as a hand drum and still like the tone.
I was actually planning on placing an order for one today, I have wanted one for a while now.

I have some first hand (and first foot) experience with this product.
First of all, I got to see and here Stanton play it up close and personal (unmiked) at a master class and it sounded great. (He played on my vintage Gretsch kit, how cool is that?!) I liked the sound enough to order one immediately.
It comes from the factory with an Emperor head tuned super loose. I tightened it just a hair to get a sound that I like. It works well with sticks, I'd go with a slightly lighter head if you intend on playing it by hand.
Also, I've set it up on a LP stem gajate bracket. I use it with a pedal on occasion. I find that a Vater "Vintage Bomber" strike works very well for this.
