Good but only for certain purposes
Before buying you should really evaluate the necessity of this product.
I've been using it in my rehearsal / recording studio for a year and have mixed thoughts on it. While it does block sound of drums (especially bass drum and snare drum) quite good the cymbals still cut through really much. It also isn't quite good for recording, because the sound reflects from the shield and creates a weird reverby type of effect. Since I use it both in rehearsals and in studio, quite often I do have to move it around and away from drums. For one person it's quite heavy to move. It also has really sharp edges, so you have to be extra careful not to harm any wires laying on the ground. As any translucent object it also gets dirty quickly which is obvious. Also - I have a 5 piece drum set 5 cymbals and the shield covers up about 150-160 degrees (I do have bass drum mic stand in front of bass drum) so that's another con for recording.
All in all - think twice before getting this, as it's a good product but only for specific reasons (e.g. live gigs in small venues).

Good but shaky
I use the drum shield in my church and it does what I need it to do...Contain the sound. The only negative I have is when the screens come off the joinery tracks its very difficult to put it back together.
Apart from that excellent product.
