MY 10 YEAR OLD SON RECEIVED THESE FOR HIS BDAY AND LOVES THEM THE GAMES THAT COME WITH IT ARE CHALLENGING ENOUGH FOR A BEGINNING DRUMMER I RECOMMEND THESE IF YOU OR GRANDPARENTS ARE LOOKING FOR AN INEXPENSIVE GIFT(RELATIVELY) THAT WILL BE A HIT!!

This was a fun toy and I played with it all year long. i never wanted to put it down. I reconmed it to all children 7 years and older.

I bought this toy for my 10-year-old son for Christmas, and he loves it. The toy has several sound settings (different sound effects). They make the sound when struck in the air. The last 3rd of the drum sticks is rubbery, and my son has managed (somehow) to avoid actually hitting any furniture. Encourages musical play for children who have difficulty learning instruments. Highly recommended.

I sounds like a great idea, but the kids were bored fast and the flexiblity is limited when you have to keep the two sticks together with the cord in one mode. I think this is best suited for a pre-teen who is really interested in using it as an instrument rather that a toy. In our house (boys ages 7 and 12) they make great swords.

My 8 year old wanted these for Christmas last year. By the time we figured them out....he was frustrated and bored. It's now been a year, and the only time he picks them up is to torture his younger brother (they make a good weapon).

I got Air snares last year for Christmas. It was the thing I wanted the most, but not after I played with them. One of the sticks didn't work then I wasn't even able to play the games because the instructions were soooooo confusing. They will keep you Entertained for about 10 minutes if that! They are now lost somewhere in my closet! If I were you and was thinking about buying them for any age child I would reconsider that thought! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!!!!

Our twelve year old daughter asked for a drum set for Christmas. My husband and I weren't really into that idea for the usual reasons. To appease her appetite, we ordered this toy. She tried it out once briefly. It was relegated to the closet (I think), and has never seen the light of day again.

It would have been more accepted if some of the noises it made could be compared to an actual drum set. If there were a setting for this (instead of human screams and breaking glass), we never found it. But then it only held her attention for minutes.

As for durability, the physical product didn't break, but the toy itself had such a limited life that it's hard to call it lasting.

I thought that this would be a great toy that my 7 year old would love. WRONG! Neither he nor I can really play the games -- the air snares just seemed to respond arbitrarily. Plus you have to "drum" with quite some force to activate them. The toy ended up making him scream & cry -- not what I'd had in mind at all.

Now, my 2 year old thinks they're pretty great. She likes everything that makes a noise.

Avoid this toy.

My 10 year old daughter really likes this toy. It's a lot of fun. But I agree that it is impossible to play without the user manual/instructions. We lost the user manual but I just called Mattel and they sent it to us electronically. In the US: 800-524-TOYS (800-524-8697) In Canada: 800-665-6288. They also said they could mail it to us if we had problems getting from our email. Mattel was VERY helpful!! Don't give up on this toy. It can be really fun if you take the time and use the instructions!

this is the coolest toy in the world! it sounds like a real drum, except it has all kinds of noises that a real drum wouldnt have, such as glass breaking, dogs barking, a saxaphone sound, and it also has the best ever background muzik! like 20 different varieties of background muzik, and game 1 is totally lame-o, but game 2 rulz, game 2 shows u the beat, and then it plays muzik for you to keep the beat, and at the end of the funky tune, it grades your drum skills with a boo, clap or roar of the crowd.fun fun fun fun fun. it is really kinda loud, like annoy your parents loud, but its not as bad as a real drum though, but as long as the funky drummer isnt right next to u, its not bad at all. it is a very very durable toy too, made of hard, i repeat, hard hard hard plastic, but the tips of the stiks r rubber, so the dont break stuff, warning, this game is NOTHING like a real drum but its super duper fun! it truly is worth 20 bucks too.
