Have you found a better one. My 9.5 years old grandson wants to play the drums and was thinking of getting something like this for Christmas but don't

seeing that he is 9 this would be great for him but I bought one for my 3 year old son and it didn't work out that well because he is too young to deal with wall outlets. But other than it ok.

This is okay but I would get something better. This one delays when drumming actively. The headphone option is nice though.

This is waste of moneyIs better one more profesional and their cost is similar

We bought this for 7 1/2 year old and ended up returning it because she didn't like it. It didn't have the feel or sound of real drums.

My daughter was 2 years old when we bought this for her. At 2 1/5 she figured out how to hit the kick drum at the same time. At 4 she found her first beat. The drums can adjust in height to accommodate a kid in to the the late pre teens. It pretty good quality but wont withstand a junior Keith Moon. If you youngster is a slugger brute type, i would recommend a set of congas instead. If you can teach the kid to hit light and hit for tone, than you all will enjoy this kit.

It seems like very strong good quality..... My son is 9, seems a little small for him though...should have got the bigger size..I'd say for ages ...5yrs to maybe 8 yrs old.... But he doesn't seem to care...he loves them and i have my ear plugs ready!Very sturdy, NOT made for really banging the heck out of them.... but my son has been playing quite loudly and their still ok.... lol... i would recommend this drum set.......made of strong wood...i was surprised when i opened the box....

Yes, it can be played by using your hands. My husband was playing it like that the other day. Have I mentioned how much he's enjoying our son's new drum? :-)

I would say yes. My son will be 7 in April and he gets just enough out of it to where I don't feel guilty for not getting the most expensive set. I figure that start him out with these and if they decide they really like playing the drums I'll up grade later because at this age, who knows what next year will bring. I hope this helps.

mine was broke the second it came out of the box and i believe it was broke when it was shipped so i cant help you here except to say its a cheap little unit that will only entertain a 2 yr old ( and thats if it works ) i wasnt expecting a proffesional model for the price but i did expect more and that it worked. i would go to cheaplites.com and get a real one. guitar center also sells better ones for not much more money and those will last a whole lot longer

I bought this for my 2 year old grandson and he has not outgrown it yet. It has a small push button lock on it if you don't want them to get into it while you are not there with them. He's now 2 3/4 and still plays with this toy. I like it because you can play a lot of songs because of the range. I bought two sets of "hammers" one soft for Mom and Dad so the instrument doesn't drive them crazy. Yesterday, we forgot the sticks so we used a crab hammer and he's a little rough with it, but it stands up to the banging. He also plays with the feet on the bottom that go in/out to stand the set up a little. Definitely worth the money. I bought this for my 2 year old grandson and he has not outgrown it yet.

Yes, my son loves it. If you plan to use headphones with it, you will need a headphone jack adaptor because the output jack on the drum set is larger like the ones you find on stereo receivers.

Its been great. Not super high quality but good enough to learn from and it has headphones which is awesome since we already have 1 drumset in the house. We have 2 kids that are learning drumming in school and they both have used it. It wasn't difficult to set up either.

Mine has a very good sound. It's a year old now and has been played by 4 grandchildren and myself. We all love it!

My grandson was 2 when he received it. It is one of his favorite toys. He will be three in March. He not only uses it as a drum but stands on it, turns it upside down to put other toys inside..hours of play time and it still looks new. I know he will have many more years of fun with this drum. Buy it if you haven't already !

Truth said ,it fell apart the second day , grandson was in music class. Then to get it fixed you have to mail it back with 90 dollar so they can mail it back to you . Daughter found a nice used one at the place she went to try to get it fixed . I think the music store felt sorry for her .

I would go with a cheap drum set. This is kinda small. Works great but I could see a 14 year old wanting more.

Yes, this would be the perfect size for your daughter. We bought one for our son when he was 4, he is now 6 and we have made one adjustment for him. He has friends come over and play with it and we have not had any problems with the set. Other than the noise!! We were debating over which drum set to buy for him, toys r us or other department stores, after reading the reviews on this particular set we decided to buy the gammon. By far it is the best decision we ever made. I was shocked at the quality and the fact that we have 1/ 1/2 and 2 years beat on that drum and you would never know. It is a great set and you and your daughter will love it!!!Hope this helps Yes, this would be the perfect size for your daughter.

Yes. This is perfect for kids, but this is not a beginner drum set for anyone other than children.

of course the manufactured would kinow best; however, my grandchildren age 9 and 12 asked for same for Christmas 2013. Thne 12 year old is really into it and really enjoys it and understands the concept; but my 9 year old does not seem interested (has not yet begun to look at it). I would say it all depends on the child and their interests. Sorry, this is all I have to offer.
