Customer Reviews

Drum Set - Ok
I purchased this drum set for my 2 year old nephew... while it was great to see him beat the drums, it wasn't sturdy enough for a very curious and strong little boy. So while it's a nice 'first' drum set, I would caution anyone who has a very active toddler when thinking of buying this. Its easy to assemble, but it's also easy to come apart.

Lovely toy, but there are some issues
When we first got this toy, I played with it a lot. I noticed right away that the drums would start popping off if your drumsticks hit the outside edges of the drums too much. Since I have a toddler, I knew this would be an issue. A few days after he received it, his friends came over and completely took it apart in a matter of seconds. That's when one of the other mothers got a brainstorm...

The drum parts attach to the base by small wooden pegs on elastic. You're supposed to push the pegs in so they're in a vertical position in the holes. This clearly DOES NOT work well, even though it's what is directed and is also done this way in the photo on the box. However, if you push the wood pegs ENTIRELY through the hole, they turn horizontal and act like a button so the drums don't pop off.

Once they were in, we didn't have any other problems with the structure, except that my preschooler LOVES to take the other items off all the time. It's more of a puzzle to him than a drum set, but that could just be his level of development.

Falling drums!!!
So, I was so excited to get this for my little drummer, but when I put it together Christmas Eve, it was a let down. The drums kept popping off and we could not get them to stay on. A drumset is not much fun when there are no drums. If only they could design a better attatchment so that there wasn't this major problem with the drumset. Until then, save your money. This may be cute, but its just not what it claims to be.
