I just got this drum about a week ago for my daughter's 2nd birthday. She likes it very much. This drum comes with an adjustable strap to wear around your neck so that your kid can march and beat the drum at the same time. It also comes with two mini drumsticks, which are okay size-wise. There are three colored balls inside the drum, about the size of a ping-pong ball. The drum is fairly lightweight and I haven't found any sharp edges, even though the sides are metal. I found that shaking the drum makes the balls bounce around inside and makes drumming sounds too, which is an alternative to using the drumsticks.
My daughter accidentally hit herself in the eyebrow with the drumstick end while wearing it and beating the drum at the same time. We had the strap on the longest length, which still gave her only about 6-8 inches between the top of the drum and her chin. I guess it can happen if your kid beats it pretty roughly while wearing it.
The sound is like a drum, but only when you are wearing it, or it isn't flat on the carpet. When it is sitting on the carpet, the sound is pretty junk.
The strap, once you attach the clips to the drum, it seems that you cannot ever remove it. I don't know why the clips are made that way, but I've tried, and so has my husband.
The top and bottom of the drum are clear plastic, and so far seem to be taking the abuse pretty well. It looks like they are wrapped around an inner cylinder that makes it stronger and less likely to push in if my daughter decides to step or stand on it.
My daughter is too young to play with this unsupervised, but I feel that it is a great addition to her musical toys as well as the fact she attends Music Together classes.

My daughthers love this drum, but it's very cheaply made flimsy plastic and cardboard on the inside. One of them decided to step on it the other and broke through one of the sides. As long as your kids don't try something crazy like that, you should be fine.
Best Deals for Schylling Silly Circus Tin Drum
Purchased this for my 3 year old grandson who is obsessed with drums! After reading all product descriptions I felt this one was the best. The drum skins are plastic, NOT paper as so many others. The outside is quite sturdy and made of metal. He loves the strap as he and BugBug(my "grandma" name) have marching parades in the house!. There are three colored plastic balls inside the drum, for what purpose I don't know, but they do not interfere with the sound of the drum. The drumsticks are just big enough for little hands. I know he will have many hours of play with this piece.

What fun it was to see my 15 month granddaughter with this drum on Christmas! She loves making noise so, as I predicted, she loves this drum. If the drumsticks get lost, she can use wooden spoons. The balls on the inside bounce around when she beats the drum which is even more fun. Her Dad liked it too!
