Nice visual but the water seems to dampen the crispness and crack of the timbales when struck with the sticks. OK if the band is into such stage displays but not good overall in sound quality.

That was cool when Blue Man Group originally did it 10 years ago.

One thing is for sure, they better make sure that the hrdware is totally dry afterwards :).
The sound does sound dampen for sure but of course we know that it's all show :)
