The product does exactly what it's supposed to do, giving you a portable way of keeping your chops in shape when on the go. Quality construction and paintwork, as one would righteously expect from a company called Meinl. The pad underneath provides a comfortable, slip-proof base to keep it from running away from your lap.
Lacks a bit on the lower end of sound, but this is a technical problem - there really isn't enough volume for deep bass sound. Another way of using it would be to mount it on a snare stand and using it as a snare in a wooden/cajon setup and playing with nylon brushes. Internal snares/jingles really give a warm and full sound of a snare.
