In a word, "no." My drum arrived damaged so I returned it, and replaced it with a Remo 22" Ocean Drum which I like better. All Ocean/Sea drums are a little awkward to play because of the shifting weight from the moving BBs. A simple frame drum of the same size is much more comfortable to play. Ocean drums are great for sound effects... not so much for playing. The most comfortable position for me is between the knees like a djembe, but you can also get some nice shaker effects by resting it on one thigh and tapping your heel.

What kind of bag can I use with this drum?

Meinl's bag for the 16" drum is model number MFDB-16. If you order the 16" drum from our Amazon storefront here: https://www.amazon.com/s?me=AAMC3Y9NFPJ6W&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER , we can add a listing for you to order the bag. Rich, from TheBest-ForLess

Commandé hier, reçu aujourd'hui : Amazon au top sur la réactivité et la livraison. Le tambour est conforme à la description. Bel instrument, bien construit. Le son est très ample, très fort aussi. Par contre, c'est le premier instrument de ce type que j'achète, et un petit manuel pour débutants serait bienvenu au lieu du catalogue de produits que fournit le fabricant, mais ce n'est pas dû à Amazon. Autre chose : deux billes étaient coincées entre le cadre et la peau synthétique. J'ai réussi à les dégager d'une bonne tape sur le cadre, mais la trace demeure dans la peau. J'ignore si c'est un problème à l''assemblage du tambour ou pendant le transport. J'espère que la trace des deux billes dans la peau ne va pas la fragiliser.

Il tamburo ha un suono intenso e l'effetto è ad alto volume, sia nella percussione che nel fare scorrere le palline all'interno: sembrano davvero onde del mare mosso!
