question: does this product have to be placedo on top of a drum or can it be played on a flat surface

it can be placed on a flat surface, it would probably fall of a drum tho. i believe the description says it will mount to most cymbol stands and there's also a remo stand for it, although its in the area of $40 for the stand

It can lay flat on the surface. You shouldfollow the link below to check out the video review of this product.http://youtu.be/kI0vPsehhMQGood luck!

I'm not entirely sure, but I think you'd want to play it on a hard surface rather than carpet. This would help with the air flow aspect.

Yes, it can be mounted or used on a table or floor. It came with a stand that screws in the bottom, with flexible feet to spread out for balance. I bought one for my friend in Jamaica, who asked for some "Party Lights" and it should delight him with the bright patterns and colors! I didn't try using it with Music. Enjoy!

It can be placed in the center but I'd recommend offsetting it to one side or the other. This will make it easier to NOT produce the snare sound if you wish.

A table top would be too high, not angled correctly, and doesn't leave you the ability to work the foot pedals. I would definitely recommend using it on typical snare drum stand. I would also recommend a drum throne, stick holders, and a music stand. The stand could be a stand-alone or wall mounted. I use a Manhasset 5601 Model #56 Wall Music Stand. At some point you're going to want to swap out the pedals that come with it for something like the Yamaha HH-65 Hi-Hat pedal and a bass pedal, both of which would be near impossible to use if the DD65 was on a table.

It's pretty much a beat box. You sit on it and hit it in different places to make sounds similar to a drum set. This would make an excellent alternative. Practice different beats and then decide if drums are in the future.

I placed mine slightly to the left hand side (about 1-2 inches as sitting on the cajon), off of center, with the snare touching the playing surface (Note: I had to untangle and straighten the snares with my cajon kit). This produced a satisfying snare sound. Not sure if placing directly in center or experimenting with bending the snares will produce more or less snare. Have had too much fun playing to care : )

It is designed to sit on a table or stand. If the carpet has any plush to it at all the turntable pivot will sink in to the carpet wouldn't turn. If that isn't an issue then I see no reason it couldn't be set on the floor.

This comes ready to be played. Headphones or some form of amplifier are required. We purchased this with the intent of using headphones due to sounds issues and it has worked great.

A snare stand will work. You don't actually need any sort of stand. It can be placed on anything. If you like to sit and play, make sure you get a stand that will allow you to lower it low enough so you can sit and play comfortably. I don't know a ton about stands, sorry.

You can place it on the wall or on the floor and then either throw it at the wall [which does make some "tonk" sound when it hits, but it's not too loud. I like throwing it into the air and see if I can hit it while it is on the ground, kind-of like horse shoes. Very fun. They stick really well.

You can but the alesis mount for it and then buy an adjustable drum stand to support it or use a snare stand. It also works on a table top just fine

Hmm ... I'm not sure how to answer this. You could put it on whatever you want: a table, a desk, between two chairs, stacked up on books, etc ...You'll just want to make sure the keys are at the right height for comfortable playing.

You could set it on the floor in you like. It's a little small for the floor. It's really made to be wall mounted. It does have a flat bottom. I have one sitting on the floor until I get some time to wall mount it with another one.

We roll ours up with the board side out. Then when opened it does lay flat to play. The last 1/2 inch might bend slightly, but we place the draw cards on the edge which helps.

No. I usually have it on my snare stand but have played it on my lap or table.
