at hotel and other travel. It fits perfect on most hotel ice buckets. slightly too small for knee but you can. The 2nd side is cork I think and I don't drum on it the wood is I think particle board, nothing fancy, not finished and prob doesn't like water. I think I'd get bigger size if not travel and getting the two sided version not a huge benefit. rebound is excellent. and it does stay put.
I think this is best option for travel and hotel. go bigger if not travelling.

I didn’t realise how small the 6” was, but it’s actually still great. If anything, it’s taught me to be more precise.

I wouldn't recommend this for any heavy use with a lot of transport/set-up/tear-down.

Realmente es silencioso, y la calidad de los materiales se sienten muy bien, tal cuál la marca Evans, es portátil por su tamaño y lo puedes llevar a todos lados, la baqueta rebota bien, el ancho de la goma es el indicado y te va durar muchos años, en cuanto a la relación del precio es muy buena, siento que es una buena opción, también hay algunas otras marcas y los pads son un poco más pequeños y pueden estar un poco más caros que esté artículo
