I purchased this for my child's kindergarten performance practice, so it was only used for about 3 months and then stored away. There are musical note stickers attached. I used different drumsticks, so I only tapped it lightly to test it out. Due to moving, if it doesn't sell by the end of this month at the latest, I plan to donate it to a school. It's large in both weight and size, so shipping costs will be incurred. I will adjust the price based on this timing, so please consider it if the current asking price suits you.
