Teacher Review
The booming beat of a big bass drum is an irresistible draw for kids of all ages. This superbly made drum would be a wonderful way to call children to attention in a group setting. The top surface is made of a sturdy tan plastic material molded to look like leather, and the cylinder of the drum is made of thick pressed board with a vibrant jungle-print design in jewel-bright colors. The drum sits up slightly on molded black plastic feet to increase its deep, resonant sound. Included in the set are two 11-inch mallets of black plastic with round ends of hard foam covered in black velvet. The mallets make a wonderful deep booming sound, but the drum can also be played with the hands. Any school, camp, music program, or library would be pleased to have this excellent instrument on hand to accompany songs or add dramatic sound effects to story hours. Any child would enjoy musical experimentation on a drum of this size and quality.
