I bought this for my boy's 7 years old birthday present but now I playing more actually. It's cheap price but great quality, surprisingly real sound, real touch, much better than electronic set, kindly some spare hardware parts included. Fast shipping!

The following review is for the Blue set but the same drum set.
WOW!!!! Fantastic drum set. Purchased at $149 for our 6 yr old and he loves it. Very easy to put together, just be patient. The end result has been music to our ears. Quick shipping. Purchased on a Friday and was delivered on Wednesday.

I spent close to a month mulling over a myriad of choices before settling on the Gammon Percussion 5-Pieces Junior Drum Set complete package. I had two conflicting goals going into this purchase: I wanted a decent-quality kit that would last a while, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money. After assembling this kit, I feel both of my goals have been satisfied.

Last summer I set up a portion of my drum set to see if my then 3.5 y/o son would be interested in it. He was initially, but after about a week, the drums fell silent and were eventually packed away from whence they came. In early February this year, he began asking about my drums on an almost daily basis. I set the kit up again, and he played it for a few minutes before moving on to something else. It occurred to me that my kit setup was maybe too big for him, and since he couldn't sit at it and play it like Daddy did, it didn't hold his interest. Perhaps a kid-sized/junior drum set would be more appealing. My hunch was correct, and my son took to his 'me-size' kit like a duck takes to water. He loves it, and has been playing it quite a bit.

This drum set includes 5 drums (bass/kick drum, two mounted toms, a floor tom, and a snare drum), one cymbal, a pair of hi-hat cymbals, a pair of junior-sized drumsticks, a drum throne/stool, and all the necessary hardware to mount and use everything. The drums themselves and hardware are solidly designed, and the materials are finished nicely. At this time, I am confident my son will outgrow this kit before these items catastrophically fail. The cymbals are somewhat flimsy, and the hi-hat cymbals seem like they might bend easily if leaned on hard enough, but they should have no troubles holding up to 'normal' drumming use. Overall, the quality of this kit has exceeded my expectations.

Assembly notes - The drum set arrived in a single box and was completely disassembled. Included in the package was a two-sided sheet that outlined the basic setup procedure with simple statements and pictures. Be advised that there are different length tension rods (screw/bolt thingie that secures the rim and head to the drum shell) for each drum, so sort them according to size before you begin putting things together. After sorting the tension rods, I checked to see that all would thread nicely into the lugs (they did). Upon assembly of the toms, I had a few tension rods that didn't want to thread into lugs. Applying some outward pressure on the rim so as to move the head of the tension rod away from the shell allowed the threads to align and get started. That was the only minor snag I encountered during the assembly.

Final notes/thoughts - Our son is very happy with the kit. I added a personal touch by combining his name with one of his favorite toys and artistically applying it like a band name on the front head (I used the blank, non-logo head for the front) of the kick drum (i.e. Eric and the Fiefighter Guys). To say I'm happy with the kit is a slight understatement. I think it is really cool, and a ton of fun! It is only a matter of time before the heads get upgraded, and we start laying down some wicked tracks! Ru-ta-ba-ga flex-i-bil-i-ty da!

Impressed with the material quality for a relatively inexpensive set. This is not a toy set. Perfect starter set for 6 and up.
Assembly instructions were a little short on step descriptions.

As with most of the reviews the assembly is the biggest challenge. My advice: Get a drummer to assemlbe it. Tunning the heads and configuring the set correctly will make for a much happier little drummer and will benefit anyone having to listen. Have them check that all the lugs are scewed in tight to the shells before putting the heads on or you may end up with more than one snare. Speaking of the snare. It is easily the week point of the kit. I was very impressed with the High hat and Crash cymbal quality. Overall a great little kit especially given the price. It can take a load of abuse and doesn't sound half bad (especially with earplugs in)

New 5-Piece Junior Kids Drum Set with Cymbals Stands Stool Black Child Size My package arrived on time-easy to put together--my 6 year old grandson loves it, as well as the adults. Looks GREAT in BLACK

So far so good. Since durability was the primary factor; we searched various sites in hopes to find a quality drum set for our son for his 6th birthday. More than we expected...good quality. We would recommend this product to others.

We bought this set for our 8 year old son 2 weeks before Christmas! He has been wanting a drum set for years now. We got him a little, cheap, play set when he was 3 years old, and it broke the first day! He LOVES this set, and wish I could show you his face from Christmas morning. Also, he has hight hopes of playing in a praise and worship band when he is in high school.

Great deal and high quality drum set. Our Grandson loves it (3 years old)and he plays it all the time, but thankfully not at our house.

We bought the drum set for my 8 year old boy, I think the drum set is more for younger kids, that are beggining to play...we have to return this item and had no problem doing it!
