Bought this for my 10 month old girl who loves music and enjoys banging on anything that makes sound (like the floor, her highchair table, and my chest).<br /><br />The stick that comes with the drums gets the best sound out of it. The sound of a baby open palm slapping the drum isn't as good, but it's enough for a baby to enjoy. My daughter will use the stick, but she also chews on it, so I don't leave her alone with it.<br /><br />The drum is very sturdy, which is good when its recipient uses it as a brace to practice standing up off the ground.<br /><br />She enjoys it now that she's just slapping at it, and as she gets older, its durability will ensure that she continues enjoying it as she develops actual musical ability.
