 An Excellent Outdoor Drum, a Tolerable Beginner DrumSep 22, 2004
By J. Bradley Hicks
The first thing you need to know about this drum is that it is nigh invulnerable. You could practically drive a truck over the body. I've used mine for a camp stool on many occasions. The synthetic head isn't completely invulnerable; from having it rattle around loose in the trunk of my car, it picked up a couple of nicks, but nothing that's had any effect on it.
The second thing you need to know about this drum is that it makes a great outdoor drum. The synthetic head and fiberglass body are completely unaffected by humidity, and almost completely unaffected by temperature at any range that I've ever been willing to drum outside in. I've known people who've played them in pouring rain. Not only did it not hurt the drum, it stayed in tune. (But more on that later.)
Furthermore, it's very affordable, and the combination of affordable and durable makes for a reasonably good first drum.
Now, the down sides. The glued synthetic head will never go out of tune. On the other hand, you can't tune it if you want to, not without replacing the whole head. The synthetic body that makes it so cheap and indestructible is also very hard and not all porous, so it has a somewhat sharp sound. If a ceramic djembe or a metal djembe doesn't disappoint you, then this won't either, but it's at best a distant cousin of the rich tones you get out of a good wooden djembe. And the relatively small synthetic head gives a somewhat limited range of notes; a larger, hand tuned natural head will give you a wider variety of pitch to play with.
All of that being said, I love mine to pieces. I recently got rid of a bunch of drums, because I wasn't going to as many drum circles as I used to. This is the one I kept.

Great Sound, Aesthetically Appealing, Perfect Inexpensive Little Drum for Kids,Nov 22, 2010
By goonius
My daughter wants a full drum set for Christmas. Having become obsessed with the band Recess Monkey and being especially fond of the adorable drummer, Daron, I can imagine what she's picturing.
Christmas morning Santa's laid out this huge drum set and by the power of enthusiasm and sheer will, she'll sit down and begin playing - Voila! - just like someone who's been playing for a couple of decades. While I applaud her sweet four-year-old determination, we've learned the hard way that it is often short-lived when it collides with reality.
This little drum seems a perfect compromise. The drumhead is a thin sheet of seemingly durable plastic(?) material with a fantastic 3-d lollipop design, which is stretched atop a plastic circle frame measuring between 6"-10" depending on which drum you choose. The larger the drum, the deeper the sound (see comments for a link to a page with audio for each size drum). The mallet is a plastic stick with a foam/rubber rainbow-colored head.
When we decided to place an order, we had a hard time choosing just one of these, and since we have two girls we opted to buy both the 6" and the 10". They are quite different in size and in tone, but sound really neat played together, which I love. Both the small and large drum have a deep, earthy, pleasing sound. Although I read this was the case, it was hard to imagine that such a little whimsically-designed drum could produce such a nice tone.
I think that although this isn't a real drum set, in the long run I think being able to produce pleasing sounds from a small and inexpensive instrument will have more tangible value, and will inspire confidence and - perhaps - if her interest is sincere, an introduction to learning to play the drums in the future.
This is a perfect drum for any child with a budding interest. And by far, it's greatest attribute? It's easy on the ears - just in case they really take to it - the kids won't be chasing all the adults out of the house with it Christmas morning.
Highly recommended.
Note: For anyone concerned with country of origin & toy safety, these drums are made in China - but seem to have no areas where chipping paint could become an issue.

 fun and sturdyMay 12, 2008
By Julie S.
I bought this drum for my 18 month-old daughter because it is the same drum we use in our mommy and me class. She loves to march around our family room banging on the drum while listening to her music. The drum is sturdy with a good sound. I highly recommend it.
 DECENT PRODUCT - boring sound, big sizeDec 11, 2011
By DHeller
This was a large product, appropriate for school-age kids not toddlers. Boring medium-pitch sound might be a blessing for parents, I was disappointed it did not have a deep tribal sound like a conga.

By Susan Agnelly
A friend showed one of these that she had bought and I loved it. So I came here and got one to give my little nephew for Christmas. Not sure if Mom and Dad will be happy but I think he will. :)
