Great 3-10 year old starter kitI'm frequently asked to recommend a good beginner's drum kit, and this is the one I recommend for youngsters in the 3-10 year range. My reasons are:
- this kit is constructed to be a serious instrument, unlike the toy quality of most junior kits. It sounds like a real drum kit, and it playslike one, albeit a scaled down one.
- the hardware, including the ever important bass drum and high-hat pedals, is solid. Believe me, nothing is more frustrating to any drummer, young or old, than pedals that stick or bind. The ones that come with this kit work well and will withstand a lot of abuse.
- sound quality of each of the drums is impressive. These drums sound like their larger counterparts, so the young drummer can easily develop his or her own sound on this kit, and retain it when they outgrow it and move to a bigger kit.
The only thing wrong with this kit - and it is universal among all junior kits - is the poor quality cymbals. To Verve's credit they did make sure that the cymbal sizes where proporational to the drums.
This kit is also available in black (ASIN B0002JFXNI) and blue (ASIN B0002FOJPU).
I strongly recommend getting a copy of "Getting Started on Drums Featuring Tommy Igoe" (ASIN B00005UV69) to go with this (or any other) kit. It will show the yound drummer how to set up and configure their kit, as well as some important basics and a few easy grooves they can start with.
