Is this suitable for a 5 year old starting off with drums? We were going to start him off with this first then move on to bigger drums later.

I returned this item without opening it I was so disapointed in the size of the box alone. I didn't think this would work for my 3 year old, let alone at 5. If you want your child to love a set and get into it spend a little more!

It's a little fragile/tippy, and kind of small for a child who may not be too coordinated. The sticks are the size of pencils. It might get broken pretty quickly. You'd probably be better off with a toy drum or rhythm band set or bongos.

Hello, Lori, it all depends on her height and love for drumming. If she is serious, I think you want to invest in a set perhaps cost a bit more. She may not want a beginner set. This set is really good but I do plan on getting my son some of the "v drums" perhaps around your daughter age if his passion for playing increases. I hope this helps.

I think it would be ok. I bought it for a 6yo boy. The quality is more than a toy but less than a real drum set. A little but of a pain to put togetherI hope this helps

I got this for my son when he was 4. He is almost 6 now. He plays these every day since day one and loves them. Its a perfect starter set. The quality is better then what I expected. You do have a lot to put together - I have never played drums and was able to do it no problem.

I would say yes. The seat isn't too far off of the ground and is sturdy. The drum set itself is a great size as well. My son is 6 and loves them. They are just big enough for him and a great size for your grandson.

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

Not sure, My son is 12 and thinks as long as you use a Thompson drum, you could. Sorry that I could not be more helpful

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.

I cannot answer this because we purchase this set for our 12 year old grandson. We are not savy about any drums. He is not either. And they do not live with us. Sorry. I did ask the daughter if she might can find out as her son can ask his dad(her ex - who is a drummer) and if they get back to me I will let you know.

Hi If he is pre growth spurt The length is perfect. As for the guitar itself, they are pretty nice. Way Way better than what I started with. I think if you do a little research on the web, the guitar will play very well just by turning a screw or two, And the child will always treasure it. He will learn on it, then absolutely have to switch to a full size. Do not let him sell or trade the first guitar. It does become like your first woman, and he will go back to it at the oddest times!!!

A five year old could "use" it but it would depend on the child as to whether they could Play it or not. I would say 7-9 is probably a good age to introduce a child to this if they had no musical background. Saying that, it is an instrument you could purchase/acquire and play with around them and they may be able to pick it up at a much earlier age. Well built, but not a "toy".

My nephew is now 15 months old has mastered this and now bored with it unless I sit down with him and engage him with it. If your grandson hasn't already mastered this type of motor skill task or you are reinforcing what he has already learned, then I believe it would be appropriate for him. If he loves to bang on things there is a drum set that is awesome and can be used in the tub. My nephew loves it!! ALEX Toys Rub a Dub Tub Tunes Water Drums

Definitely not. My boys are older than 6, and they all love it. Since we have 3 of the sets, they have a lot of fun putting the track in different configurations. I think at 6, he would enjoy it.

I think it would be a bit much for your 5 year old grandson, it has been quite a learning curve for me and challenging. it is also quite fragile. hope this helps.

Only if you are very short. A buddy of mine plays drums for a living and he plays them with my kids when he comes over, but I think you would be pretty uncomfortable playing them for an extended period of time, especially if you are thinking of making them a practice kit or something.

I bought this gorgeous set for my 5 year old grandson and he fits it quite nicely. The drums themselves would work: it's not a toy, but the seat would be too small. I would definitely go with a bigger set for an 11 year old. Hope this helps.
