We purchased the Shake, Rattle, & Drum for our twin 1 year old boys and they absolutely love it. We know that this is recommended for ages 3 and above, but they have been pounding on everything they could get their hands on so we figured they'd love it. At their age we only let them use it with adult supervision because they want to put everything in their mouth and we figure that isn't prudent because of them ingesting the paint. The red rattle is a little loud so that may only come out for special occasions. I'd recommend this for budding musicians that like to pound on things.

I didn't want to buy any of the plastic drums and instrument sets so I was happy to find this. The drum is very sturdy and makes a lot of noise :-) Our daughter (2 years) loves it. The drum has a handle attached so all the instruments can be stored in it when you turn it upside down. Perfect to teach clean up, too! The shakers are the only ones that are not very loud, they could be a little louder as they can't really be heard when you play all instruments together. Overall, the best choice out there, couldn't be happier.

We bought this for my son at four months. This is a truly great product that has already lasted for 9 months and counting. Early introduction had produced a little one who loves music and find the beat really enjoying musical activities ahead of his peers. My son wore out the rope int he clapper, but that was easily threaded with a new piece of material. I would recommend this as a great investment for your child or a great gift for someone else.

My almost three-year-old grandson loves this set, especially the drum. The drum has a good sound - satisfyingly loud for him but not annoyingly loud for grown-ups. His nine-month-old brother enjoys accompanying him on the maracas, which are a good size for little hands. The drum, drum sticks, and maracas seem sturdy. However, when banged together, the painted tambourine stick and the painted castanets chip badly. Thus, the tambourine stick and castanets shouldn't be used to make music by banging them together, which is exactly what a small child would be expected to do with them! This would be a better set if the manufacturer made the tambourine stick and castanets out of unpainted wood or heavy plastic.

We bought this drum set for my daughters 1st birthday and she absolutely loves it!! She walks all around the house shaking the maracas and then brings me the drum to beat (she also beats the drum too). And she loves the other shakers too. The age recommendation is 3 years, but is perfect for younger ages too. My nephew also has this set (also 1 year old) and we gave it as a gift to another 1 year old girl. Have fun making music together!

I got this toy as a Christmas present for my son. He is 10 months and loves it. He pounds on the drum, shakes the maracas and used them as teething toys too. I know this set will grow with him.

grandson's christmas gift. He loves it! He's less than a year old and a kinder music fan (with mom and dad)

I purchased this set primarily for the drum. My 2 year old wanted a drum and I wanted something that wasn't plastic.This looked just right. Well we are very happy with our drum and the other items as well. The drum is very sturdy. Makes for a fun gift.

Our 6 month old son loves to play with these toys. We have to supervise him as he goes crazy with the drumsticks and maracas. My only recommendation for improvement is the drum covering. Our son likes to scratch this and also plays the drums in a regular manner. The scratches are accumulating and I would recommend making this more durable as children will do all sorts of things including scratching with their fingernails. I definitely would still recommend this product and give it 5 stars overall.

My duaghter really wanted a drum for Christmas this year. My husband and I did not feel that she is quite old enough for a full on drum set, or even old enough to appreciate a snare drum. We thought this drum and instrument set would be a good starter for her. She is only 5, and we also don't have the floor space for a ull on drumb set. We have not yet pulled it out since it isn't Christmas yes, but I can tell you that I was really impressed and excited with the quality of this set. Good buy for the quality and the learning experience that my daughter will get to have.
