I will stress this from the beginning - if you pay more than $5 for these, you've paid too much. $5 might even be too much. Absolutely terribly quality, cheap, crummy bongos.

I bought these for my son's birthday in September - it wasn't until I actually "opened" the gift at his birthday party that I realized that I had spent money on something akin to what was sitting in our recylcing bin.

I don't know what sticks are being talked about, my order didn't come with any. Another review said these were made from cardboard about as thin as a cereal box - that's about right if not a little generous. The construction is lousy, and easily pulled apart. See those little white supports in the picture? Those pull right out. How safe.

True, if you beat it with something harder than your hand you get a better sound, but again, like another review said, it's comparable to a wooden spoon on tupperware. You can get much better toy bongos/drums for this price. Do NOT buy this.

1. These are made of cardboard about the thickness of a cereal box and do not appear very durable.

2. They do not sound like drums. They dont sound like much at all and are less entertaining than tupperware and a wooden spoon.

3. There are no drumsticks in my package but I didn't expect any as they are bongos. You can get somewhat of a drum sound using something harder than your hand. I might make some mini sticks and see if my son likes these any better.

4. The box states 3 and over and the item description states 1 and older.

All in all I think these were a waste of money and would send them back but dont want to waste the gas. They were already shipped all the way from Israel. Surely we can make as bad a product here at home.

I recommend buying something else or have fun making your own as they would be at least as good.

I was shocked to find that the body of the drums are made of cardboard that is formed into a circle and loosely secured with tabs that fit into slots. My nearly two-year-old was able to tear them and pull the cardboard out of the tabs within minutes of opening them. I was very disappointed in the quality of this product. I should have gotten the wooden ones, which were about the same price.

First off, I purched this for my ONE year old daughters birthday. The recommended age is 12 months so i thought it would be GREAT for her. The drumsticks are far to small and skinny for a child of this age, they are a chocking hazzard. The first thing she did was stick them in her mouth and gag...she is teething as are most children at this age, they all put things in there mouths, why they made them so skinny is beyond me. 2nd, it does not sound like anything much less a drum unless you have it on the side, and it does not sit flat so you have to hold it for the child so they can bang on it, if you sit on one of the ends like shown in the photo, your lucky to get a dull thud...my daughter played with this for a bout 30 sec when she got it 3 weeks ago and has not touched it sense...she loves all her music toys but this was a FLOP!

My Grandson, Daniel, just loves this little drum. He uses it all the time. He even just walks around with the little drumstick. Great product. Highly recommend.
