This drum is almost 2 feet across and has a deep bass sound. My kid and the insane parent that bought it for her love it.... me, not so much. BUT it makes them happy and they enjoy it, so in a way I like it too (just gotta keep telling myself that.) A sanity saving trick is to put something like a pillow UNDER the drum, so its tucked up inside of it. It muffles the sound and makes it not so migraine inducing.
