KIDS MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS- LETS MAKE SOME NOISE!

Hi Guys, when I was a kid, I was lucky enough to be introduced to many different kids musical instruments, but unfortunately like most kids I had other things to do and didn't persevere, until I discovered the drums and found that I had some natural rhythm, timing and co-ordination. I eventually went on to play in a number of different bands as a semi-pro for about 12 years and maybe I can share some of my experiences with you in future posts.

For now I would like to look at some of the kids drum kits available for kids from about 3 to 8 years old. There is quite a choice but this is mainly down to colour and the number of drums included in the kit, 3 or 5. The quality of some of them for the price is amazing, just like a scaled down pro set.

A drum kit like any other musical instrument needs to be set up properly and tuned to get the best out of it, so you need to make sure that the drum set you buy provides full adjustment of the stands and the ability to tune the heads (skins) of each drum with a special key.

My drum kit top picks for today are:-

This is a great kids musical instrument, a full 3 piece drum kit with high hat, crash cymbals and throne (stool). It has wooden shells and chromium plated lugs with adjustable folding stands giving full control over the set up. The high hat cymbals are a bit small, but can always be replaced later. This drum set comes in various colours, has good reviews and is great value for money.


A full 5 piece drum kit with snare, 2 high tom toms, floor tom tom, base drum, high hat, crash cymbals and throne (stool). Includes everything your kid needs to start rocking, with wooden shells, chromium plated lugs and adjustable stands and legs, including drum sticks. Good reviews and a choice of colours.

Another great example of a scaled down 5 piece pro drum kit, ideal for the budding rock drummer in various colours, the metallic silver really looks the part. Made with real wood shells and chromium plated lugs and stands, fully adjustable. Good reviews and great value for money.

I think that any one of the above three drum kits would make your kids very happy indeed, although it might be worth you parents investing in some ear muffs until they get the hang of it.

I would be pleased to help with any questions you may have regarding the set up and tuning, which can make a hugh difference to the sound and ease of playing when your kids start, just send me an email.
