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
