I've been thinking about buying it for quite a long time now, but I still haven't, so I can't really say anything about it. But I saw a small part of it at youtube (I think it was this one: YouTube - How To Play Finger Cymbals With Mesmera) and it looked quite good.

Good luck!
In addition to what I learned in class, I also bought the Mesmera video. She has some sound(pun intended) advice, so IMO you can't go wrong with that one. She even plays along with Jeremiah Soto(of solace) at the end. I don't have Ansuya's video, but she's one of the few American Belly dancers that ALWAYS dance with her zills. I'm sure she has some good info and practice tips to share.
However regardless, of which video you buy, you still have to practice with them!
