Can this also be played with bare hands? Is the sound as good that way?

yes, these are nice drums for kids you can play them either way. the heads on the drums are really good. i'm a musician and i looked them over before i purchased them and i said for the money this is the best drum for a child you can buy.

Yes you can. It sounds really good since it's a Remo. The whole family was playing this at Christmas and we had a ball!!

Yes, you can play it with your bare hands as well. It does sound good that way, and you can make a wider variety of sounds playing with your hands versus the mallets.

My grandson is 9 months old, therefore he uses his hands to play the drum. The sound and tone are authentic.

Good question! I have no musical instruments so can't say. The reasonable price in my opinion makes it worth the try.

Yes. It plays like a traditional acoustic, it just doesn't have a resonating chamber which allows it to be much, much smaller in circumference.

An adult could play it. I've played my son's. But unless you are particularly petite I would not recommend it for everyday play.

You can play it without plugging it in for practice, but you will not get the same sound as an acoustic. It is a good violin, though...especially for the money.

Both ears have the pinch to play sound. You can open the battery pack and I believe there is an on/off. On off of course you can't pinch and play.

Sorry, I don't use it for game playing. I have large hands and bought it for business use.

Yes it is quite sensitive and you can play with your fingers. I just bought one 2-3 months back and since then have played it only once. I am planning to sell mine for $95 + shipping.would you be interested ?

No hand held but a very good system. Sounds very clean. I am much happy with it. I have a sennheiser as well...and I use this much more.

Yes you can!!! I actually bought it on Saturday and was worried bout the same thing but it hooks up and plays wonderfully!!! At beginning of Rocksmith it gives you an option to choose left or right handed. I believe it only gives you that option on Rocksmith 2014

You should be able to play this if you can play the alto comfortably. My concern is not so much the distance of the holes, but the size of the holes. If you have small hands you may be able to reach the holes but not cover them depending on the size of your fingertips. Be aware, also that this instrument requires a substantial amount of air so you need good lungs. The sound, though, for the price is very satisfying. We have two that we play with our ensembles - everyone else plays wooden recorders, but because of the cost of a wooden bass we've opted to use the Yamahas and haven't been disappointed. It's a good place to start. Good luck and I hope it works for you. You should be able to play this if you can play the alto comfortably.

Yes, it`s really great to play and move around on stage with it. It slightly changes the sound just a little bit but almost imperceptible for anyone else, and if you´re playing with a band no one will notice it. Guaranteed

Yes, you can play it like a piano ... you can even play your own notes to make music

It can be played but it is barely audible. I sent mine back because of that. Good question.

Not true. It comes with strings and is playable as received; although minor setup is suggested. I use mine almost daily for (nearly) silent practice.

Never played it outdoors. Just got it for Christmans so I only have it for a month. It has amazing sound and I would highly recommend it.
