Let me just get the con out of the way so that I can begin to describe this wonderful instrument.<br /><br />Con: In the description it says that this drum comes with a thumb notch, and four holes around the circumference of the drum allowing for rope or string to be used to suspend the drum, this is not the case. Though the thumb notch is present, there are no holes to suspend the drum.<br /><br />Now onto the happy stuff. This drum is a very enjoyable instrument. If you're at beginning drummer and don't want to deal with the hassle of tuning a drum, or wether issues getting in the way of your playing, this is the drum for you. The sound is nice although if you want a lower tone, you will need to go to a 16 or 18 inch drum or higher. It has an almost melodic tone to it. It's lightweight and very very fun to play. A wooden spoon will suffice if you don't want to spend the money on a remo mallet at this time. I've had my drum for almost a month, and enjoy playing it daily. May you have much enjoyment with your instrument!
