We finally bought this for our son after he played with it at friends' houses for over a year. I am not a fan of noisy toys, but this drum makes a couple of different soft tones when hit with the mallet. From what I have observed of my son and his friends, this toy is very sturdy, and is great as soon as they can sit up, but still remains a popular choice now they they are two.

This review is from: Plan Toy Solid Wood Drum (Toy)

When you look at the design, you will see the center is more "cut out" than the rest. While this is necessary to allow for different sounds, this center piece of wood needs to be thicker. My 2 yr old Grandson broke that piece after playing with it for about an hour or so. {It was broken by being hit with the drumstick} The toy had to be thrown out. there was no repairing it as the break was sharp and dangerous.
While it does help the child create many different sound & again, all that is needed is to make that one piece of wood thicker. It is a good toy for musical education otherwise. But the "Otherwise" is a biggie! I'll be writing to the manufacturer about this as well.

We love this drum! It has a nice sound to it and is easy for little hands to grasp. We've had it for almost a year now and no problems with the design, perhaps the other reviewer got a bad one? Highly recommended for your little musician!
