What make this for children/starters/beginners, instead of for professional musicians?

Honestly, I'm not sure, other than it's a smaller size drum but I've seen people of all ages, play different size drums so not sure. My daughter and I have been having fun with ours. It is a smaller size drum and drum head but seems to be good quality, so far. We've only had ours for about a month now.

Are goats killed for their skin just to make these drums?

i would guess it is completely used and this is a byproduct of the butchery process

Will it be small for my 9 year old boy?

The African drum will not be small, for grade and middle school boy, the height allows him sitting in a short chair to rest the djembe on the floor the djembe on the floor. Thanks for asking.

How this djembe souds, my son want a djembe, I'm sonsidering this one?

This drum sounds pretty good for the price when struck using proper technique. Watch online instructional videos to learn basic striking techniques. It’s a good starter drum for small hands.
