This makes a nice sound (well, it's not too grating), and it's got skin on both sides so it's easy to use. I like that the size is a little smaller than others that I've seen, which makes it easy to wear. The design on the drum is cheerful and fun. A couple of slight differences from the photo: the drumsticks are a slightly different shape, and the strap adjustment clasp is plastic (not metal); but I suspect that these changes are improvements to the design. The metal clasp would have been uncomfortable around the neck, and the drumsticks are easier for younger kids to hold.
