5.0 out of 5 stars My son's favorite toy, March 11, 2009

After noticing my son's tendency to ignore fancier, flashier toys in favor of just whacking on things, I thought a drum would be just the thing to keep him entertained. This is the real deal; a real wooden frame with a real leather skin stretched across it, that produces real drum sounds! Unlike the glut of cheap plastic toys that require batteries to make noise, this is a simple, straight forward drum that my son absolutely loves. It's quite a bit smaller than you'd think based on the picture, but that's a minor complaint at best.

I can't recommend this strongly enough, both as a great toy and a child's first musical instrument.

After taking my then 6-month old son to a 'Music Together' children's music class, I was inspired to purchase a few percussion instruments so that he could play along at home to our CDs. This is a professional-quality drum with a good sound, and not one of the el cheapo "toys" that you can pick up at a big box retailer. We've had it now for 3 months, and it has proven to be quite durable, and has stood up to repeated tossings from the high chair onto the floor, being crawled on top of, thrown around, etc. The only negative is that my son seemed to be rather enamored with chewing the rubberized surface on the end of the mallet. I was afraid that it might not be the healthiest thing for him to have, and removed it from his access. Unless you have an infant like myself, this would probably not be an issue.

I have already recommended this drum to another new mom, and her son is also having a blast with it. This is a great quality product, and well worth the price.

This drum was much smaller than I expected, but the handle works well and my son very much enjoys using it both with the mallet and without. Nice gift - so much better then the plastic drums that play music!
