 Great Sound, Aesthetically Appealing, Perfect Inexpensive Little Drum for KidsNov 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.

 Great drum, great valueJan 20, 2011
By AFConnors
I'm an early-childhood music teacher and I've been using this drum (the same one!) for over ten years. So I can definitely vouch for its durability - my students have banged, boomed, and beaten on it with enthusiasm for a long time. Every once in a while some child will bang it on the floor so hard I think "this is it," but it stands up to preschoolers every time! It also has a very pleasant sound, resonant but not too loud. Very good product.

Cute little drum with nice sound for the sizeFeb 24, 2011
By Anonymous
I am a substitute elementary school teacher and sometimes get assignments teaching music. I like having a variety of music-themed games and activities available to play with the students when the opportunity arises. I bought this drum specifically for that purpose.
The colors are bold and appealing. The foam mallet even looks a little like a lollipop (obviously, for this reason, young children should be supervised when using it).
The drum's construction is sturdy; I am hopeful it will hold up to many years of use. The handle, I believe, is plastic (it is covered with a sticker/label so I'm not certain), and is cushioned on each end with a plastic cap. The handle is screwed onto a black frame (I think it is either wood or a thick cardboard-like material), and red grosgrain ribbon is glued to the outside of the frame. The skin is shiny and appears to be plastic.
The tone is bright and pleasant. For its size, the drum is capable of decent volume, something I need since music rooms are sometimes larger than regular classrooms.
I tried using it as a hand drum to make a different tone. It did not work nearly as well as the mallet, though my knuckles produced a better sound than my palm. I don't know if it is because of the drum-to-hand-size ratio, or if it is not constructed for that purpose. I ended up ordering the 8-inch drum as well, so I can compare the two when it arrives.
Durable and funNov 12, 2008

Love these drums!!!! Great sound. Loud, but totally not annoying. We have had them for over a year and with a toddler and a preschooler, they get quite the workout. We have used them at least once every day and they are still in perfect condition.
We love the lollipop drum!Nov 11, 2008

We first encountered a Lollipop Drum in Music Together Class. All of the kids in the class would flock to this instrument - probably because of the beautiful colors and the great sound that it produces. I purchased this drum for my children last year for Christmas and they constantly play with it still. It comes with a little lollipop mallet which my daughter also uses as a Microphone when she is playing around. She also sometimes pretends that the drum is a guitar. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get their children involved in musical instruments.
