This is a great toy. It's well made and durable. The whole thing is plastic. The top and bottom is a flexible plastic that makes a great drum sound. It's the same on the top and bottom if its flipped over. The sticks are attached by rope that is long enough to play the drum with but short enough that it can't get tangled around the child's neck.

My son loves toys that make music. Its educational, entertaining and takes nothing but an imagination to use.

Highly recommend.

This is a well made toy; not very exciting but durable. My toddler grandkids, ages 1 & 3, get some enjoyment out of beating it but they both seem to prefer something that lights up. Nevertheless, I think every little one needs something to pound on to improve coordination, to have simple fun, and to make some noise. I feel very good about this toy and so does their Mom.

Got this for my 17 month old daughter for Christmas. She loves beating on things, so this was perfect for her. My main concerns when I was searching for a drum for her was safety and durability. I see no defects or flaws in this drum, so I would say that it is safe. As far as durability, its been a month, and she has beat it, sat on it, threw it, and so far, it doesn't have a scratch on it. I would recommend this for any little drummer boy or girl.

Update: Jan, 2012. We put this away with all the rest of the "baby toys". My daughter is now 3-1/2. I noticed she was hitting the bottom of a bucket, so I brought her drum out of storage. She loves it more now than she did at 17months. She hits it with her elbows out like she's on a drumline. (I cut the strings off.) Shakes her butt and sings into one of the drumsticks like a microphone. This is definitely not a just for babies toy.

DO NOT BUY THIS TOY FROM AMAZON!! It is a total price rip off. They are charging $49.99 from toy town and when I received it actually had a price tag on it of $14.95 on the outside of the box. I then went on the internet and found the exact same drum ranging from $10 all the way up to $14.95, but nothing came close to the $49.99 that Amazon was charging!!!

I love the thought of my son falling in love with music and he has but their is a few things about this I didn't like. I doesn't sound like a drum! The drum sticks are attached to the drum for safety reasons which I understand but it is hard to play with them because they are attached too close. The top of the drum is a thick hard plastic which does not sound good at all. This Christmas I bought the B. barum pa pum pum drum and other instruments. I love it! I suggest going with a different drum!

My kids have this, and it is the best drum for the age group that I have seen so far. The attached cords on the drum sticks make it less of a hassle for me because I'm not always hunting them down. A previous reviewer said they were too short, but I don't have that problem at all. I can even play it with no issues.

This was a gift for our one year old twins. I thought it would be perfect for their little hands to practice cause and effect and tapping to the beat. However, the strings on the drum sticks are way too short for my twins to use. Cutting the string is not an option, because then the sticks are a choking hazard. There is another kid drum on this site- Remo Kids Percussion, Floor Tom, 10 Diameter with Mallet, Rain Forest Fabric. It's about the same price and the reviews are fantastic!

This was a present for my son for Christmas and he was just over a year old at the time. He loves it, and it is very durable. He sits and stands on it, and of course, it gets tossed around a bit too. My son's two Uncles, and his Godfather, all play the drums so they get in on the action too. I have no musical abilities, so I just bang on it with him. It is a simple, inexpensive, fun toy.

I bought this drum for my 2yr old nephew, because he loves drums. It is a very durable toy, he gets a little agitated when he can't take the sticks away because they are attached to the drum. Very safe.

I was pretty excited to get this toy for my one year old son as he loves to bang things but he does not enjoy this toy at all. It makes very little noise and the strings holding the sticks to the drum are to short. I would not recommend this toy.
