what is the recommended age group for a junior drum set

I would say "I think 4 and over just to bang on them, but 5 and up to actually learn to play.....every kid is different" My son is 5!

The manufacturer recommends ages 3-8, however a previous reviewer said 4-10 in her estimation. I think it mostly depends on your kids' size and skill level. If they are over 8 but relatively small for their age, this set should work great. On the other hand if they are a tall/big kid for their age or they've grown in skill level and need a bigger kit, go for a different set.

My grand-kids are 3-8, however their parents also played with the drum set. My only suggestion is to buy a timer prior, so you won't have any issues with sharing

My son is 4 and loves it, but for 10 and up, if they're used to playing the drums, you might want to go with a better quality drum than this one. Otherwise it's good up to a small 14 year old, probably.

I got the Jr child for my 2-yr old grandson and it is a good size for him now and should work for up to three years for him. It may be a bit small for a 6-yr old so I would suggest the large child. Hope this helps.

If the 11 year old was 5 feet tall or more I would go a step up to a "junior" set. I think Yamaha makes one. They are more expensive. While the quirky of the Gammon is good for a children's set it is really for the 4-10 year old. Hope this helps

I would suggest that it falls in between these two suggested age groups. My girls are 3.75 and 5.75 and they have both played with this set for the past year. Because there are small pieces, this definitely is not appropriate for one or two-year-olds or any child who is prone to put things in his mouth or nose. But my three-year-old has enjoyed exploring this on a regular basis since she was about 2.75.

Hi Diane, I bought these drums for my 3 year old. He is now 4 and fits pretty well behind them, but has room to grow. He only weighs 40 pounds and his height is 41 inches. I think it would be a tight fit for a 10 year old. These are great drums though!

I bought it for my 4 year old and it was perfect. I can see 3 year old at the minimum. At 1, my son started off making his own drums set out of whatever was around (pots, water jugs, etc...) and used chopsticks for drums sticks. I say go that route first ;)

I think it would be a good beginner set. The drums are rather small but may be a cheaper way to find out if a kid is really serious about wanting to be a drummer. if she is serious about drumming, she will probably outgrow them rather quickly.

Yes, they are really great drums! My son absolutely love them! And every other child that likes noise go straight to the drum set!

I think it depends on your child,We got this when our son was 2 and he loved it, The only thing is that this is a real drum, very loud sound,

Hard to say. My son is 7 and it is just right but my husband can play them and he is 6'. It is a good starter set though to see if child wants to play seriously enough to buy a larger set later.

I bought this set 7 months ago for my sons 4th birthday. With the exception of the hi hat cymbals, he's able to play each piece as if he was in a real band. I would recommend this drum set for a child between 4-8.

I can't really help you because I gave the drums to my grandson. I can say they are pretty nice for a small child. His first set did not last as long as these have.

My twins (17 months) love this music set, but I haven't let them play with the xylophone yet. I don't really see how they could get cut with it though. I think you just need to use your judgement about what's age appropriate. The xylophone is a nicer one and I think they'll really enjoy it when they're around 2. For now, a cheaper/more baby friendly one that we purchased is good enough.

These Gammon Junior Drum sets are perfect for that age. Just the right height and built like a real drum set. Just smaller and a lot less money!

Yes, great little drum set. Purchased last year, never had to replace. Well worth the money, played by a 5/6 year old.
