5-Piece Junior Starter Drum Kit with Cymbals, Hardware, Sticks, & Throne - Blue

I was very concerned and skeptical, but I can't believe how cool this little kit really is. I would say most of the stuff folks said here is true. Knowing what to expect is helpful too. I had very low expectations. I would never makes the comparison to an adult kit. I hope the guy with the video figured out he needed to tighten the leg saddle hardware from the inside of the drums before installing the heads. I snugged up all the lug units too. That's what it took for our kit, just a few tweaks, but adding lock washer is wise on any persistently loose ones. The snare stand likes to move about too, but that was just a case of tightening the nut with a bit more oomph and a pliers. The snare took a few tweaks, the spring in there needed to be spread out. It will never have that nice crack, but think, a real snare drum is several hundred bucks at least. I have been teaching my young percussionist to hit light in preparing for this and I have to say these are surprisingly not as loud as I expected. I also threw an old pillow in the kick, and that sounds nice now too. The kick pedal, and the hi hat stand are definitely crap. I had to replace the spring. FYI a thick broccoli band was a godsend on X mas morning while under the gun. Lighter springs are available in the door hardware section of Home Depot. My little three year old can play that kick drum but the spring made it too stiff for her to depress, it also did not recoil the way it should, thus the new spring. The cymbals are also junk, already have a dent in one. Dad's going to eventually replace those hopefully with some CL turks, if I'm lucky. Sure would have been nice to have a real ride cymbal, thats what it is really missing. I recommend sparing ones sanity preemptively and watching a tuning video on you tube. Its not hard, and will teach you to stretch the heads and tune away annoying ringing or at least get them to sound musical. Those tones are the things that would make me loose it. I'm no expert, but as a guitar player, I could hear when they sounded assonant vs. dissonant and loping. Now, she just sounds like budding artist practicing a jazz solo on a tight kit. Also a great investment are the gummy window gels kids stick to the windows. Exactly the same as the blue gels they sell to dampen undertones on the heads, but the kids will love to decorate the heads in this case with santas and mistletoe. Just those alone eliminate a good portion of the pain for parents. Little tip, they work on the resonant (bottom) heads too. Thats where most of the nasty tones come from anyway. Overall, we are very happy. By comparison, I was in a local store that was selling half the kit with half the goodies for about the same price. I prefer to buy local yet this was a great deal, but if she's not laying down a rock solid 4/4 by March, they're going on CL.... Just kidding. Main thing to remember is like any instrument, it tases a few tweaks to get it playing and sounding right. I have never bought a guitar that didn't need the nut shaved or saddles adjusted, etc, before it played and sounded right, drums are no exception. Put in the time to learn about it and make the adjustments and the experience is enhanced tenfold.

I ordered the drum set for my son. Upon opening and trying to assemble it I realized I was missing quite a few pieces. I will say I reached out to customer service and they were able to rectify the situation very quickly. As someone who it's not Savvy when it comes to putting things together I felt a little overwhelmed. After getting all the pieces assembly was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. The trickiest part for me was the high Cymbal. After an hour of trying to figure out how to assemble it I was able to find a YouTube video and got it assembled in under 5 minutes. Overall based on the great customer service, despite the fact that I was missing a few pieces initially I would definitely recommend this drum set.

This is a great set and exactly what we were looking for to give our 8 and 10 year old sons. Very good quality and the drums came in one box that was easy to assemble. Our kids enjoy the look and quality of the music and it is perfect for kids I’d say from 6-12 years old

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased this for my 8-year-old son, and it’s been a hit! Assembly was straightforward and didn’t take long, which was a relief. The quality of the product is impressive, feeling sturdy and well-made. My son is thrilled with it and has already spent hours playing and exploring all its features. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into the design, making it both functional and fun. As a parent, I’m happy to see him enjoying something that keeps him engaged. Overall, I’m very pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend it to others. Great value!

This set has been awesome! I purchased this for my son to learn how to play. He has enjoyed playing so far. The hardhat has an issue where the bolt that holds it to the pedal screws off during play. Other than that the product is perfect and can withstand hard hits from a youngster. Great set for the price.

Let me start this by saying, I am a lifelong drummer.Now, I wasn't sure what to expect with a complete drum set at this price point, but I can say, I am VERY pleased!The construction/finish of the drums is solid. The cymbals aren't bad, the hardware is more than stout enough for a small player to beat on, the heads aren't bad (although I expect I will be replacing them soon with some Remos or the like), and the rest of the included items are more than acceptable for my 3yo to use.I have not tuned them up yet, but expect they will sound quite good as the mounted toms arrived basically tuned and they sound very good!Is it worth the $$? So far, I'd say yes!If you have an aspiring drummer in your house that you want to spoil, or a Daughter/Son-in-law that you don't really like, go ahead and get this gem...the kids will.love it!!Me personally, I CANNOT wait to see my 3yo's face when he sees it!

I’ve played drums since I was 5 years old and this set is great for getting your kid into drums. Perfect price point to see if they like it and stick with it. My advice is to put a pillow in the bass drum and some duct tape over the Toms since they really ring. Make sure you have ear protection for your kids because these are not quite drums. If you can get some rubber pads and cut them down to size so you don’t get annoyed by them banging on the drums all day. Once you feel your child is interested in playing drums, move them onto something nicer they appreciate.

My husband set everything up pretty quickly. Our daughter loves her pink drum set it's a great to starter drum set.
