Bought for a New Orleans style jazz band. I'm not much of a drummer myself but this is a nice little drum. After playing with the tension it's got a nice thud to it tuned down on a C. The skins seem decent and it came with rings of muffling foam already inside which is nice. It also came with a pair of beaters which our drummer likes a lot, and a wrench for the carrier and the biggest drum key I've ever seen.
The carrier is very solid but holds the drum quite high (even with the support legs turned upside down) which is great for that formation marching stuff, but I went back and found a webbing harness so we can hang it lower with a hi-hat cymbal mounted on top of the ring.
