Got this for my kids for Xmas.  Lots of fun.  I ordered an extra mallet so all three of them could play it at the same time.  Like the drum, the mallets are also well made.  These come in different sizes, but get the big one.  This isn't a cheap feeling drum.  It's solid.  My toddler even climbs on it.  We play cards on it.  It looks cool hanging on the wall.  I love beating on the the thing.  The sound is deep and rich.  In fact, I play it more than my kids.
