 adorable July 19, 2007

This drum is so cute. My son loves it. No problems, especially for the money!
 Adequate but small June 5, 2007

This is a nice rhythm toy for small children. I've played much nicer frame drums, such as 8 Inch Designer Hand Drum, but not at this low a price. You can't beat the price, but the beat of the drum won't be great. You'll spend almost as much on shipping as the drum costs. Unless you need a lot of drums on a low budget, consider the Remo tuned hand drums or Tars or Bodhrans. Nevertheless, I have a couple that I put out for our drumming groups. People play them - some seem less intimidated by having a small drum to tap with a mallet.
 Poor Sound, but what do you you expect January 18, 2007

This is a basic drum with poor sound quality. What do you expect for the price.
Percussion as a tool to teach counting and math September 19, 2006

Music tunes into a part of the brain that might be connected to math skills. In any case, making music is fun, it's participatory and it teaches about rhythm, counting and doing things cooperatively. A collection of percussion instruments like blocks, and percussion accessories like sleigh bells are great to keep in a box for kids. Take them out and have the kids keep time along with a favorite cd or with a song they are singing.
This is a very inexpensive drum and one that can teach a lot. It is also great for Christmas; bring the kids along to carol, and have the smallest kids keep time with the drum, or make up your own percussion accompaniment with a full collection of drums, sticks, bells, triangles and blocks.
 Cheap.... June 1, 2005

It's about as good as you'd expect for the price you're paying. The tone is a little thin, but it seems sturdy enough, and will work for my purposes - tapping the beat for people learning medieval dance.
