This item has been used a few times and then stored in a closet. I'm selling it because I no longer have the opportunity to use it. I will include the TAMA Soft Sound Drum Pedal Beater BSQ10S, which is shown in the first photo. The beater in the bag is unused. When practicing at home, I would practice in socks or slippers, but I have cleaned the item before listing it. *Regarding the instruction manual, it is stained, so I will include a copied version.*
