This is as advertised. It's a 12" synthetic head frame drum. I got it because I wanted something easy to transport that wouldn't be a huge loss if it was broken or stole. I also wanted something that had a decent sound. It is all that, but it is no comparison to my other, larger drums. When looking at it from that point of view, this is a huge disappointment. For $20ish it's a good buy though.
