Lovely toy, but there are some issues4
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.

The best drumset for toddlers5
Some of the other reviewers have an issue with the how easily this set comes apart. And it is true it does, but it I think it is an advantage and not a design flaw.

My 2 year old is extremely rough with his toys and if the pieces didn't come off on their own he would have ripped them off minutes after getting it out of the box. Part of the products beauty is that it can be put together and taken apart easily. Putting the set together has become part of our playing with it. My son has learned where the pieces go and basically how to assemble it (with a little help.)

I think this is a wonderful toy and I highly recommend it. If you are looking to set your child down in front of it and walk away, then it is not the toy for you. But if you want to be involved with your child's playtime and can think of it as a puzzle drum set, then this set is great!

Oh and other than the cymbal it is not very loud.

It's so tiny!3
I love Plan Toys for their eco-friendly products and durability, so when I saw this drum set, I purchased asap. However, when the box came my husband and I laughed! It's tiny! This set is only about a foot off of the ground! Our 3 year old has to sit indian style to play it! It's great quality and has a great design, I would just warn that it's not the somewhat "fullsized" drum set that the picture makes it look like.
