We bought this drum for use in a Rugby Stadium as part of a brass ensemble. We were well and truly surprised at how good this drum turned out to be considering how small it is. It has a great sound with lots of volume which can be heard at the other side of the stadium. It is also very light to carry, which helps a lot when there is a long walk to the stadium.
The only downside which we feel requires a mention is that the straps are pretty useless, we use them as a carry handle only. I'm not sure how good the drum would be to march with. Perhaps a different harness would be required.
It works OK for us though as the drum sits on the ground when in use.
