Drum Sets for Kids
It might start with your child perched in his high chair, banging his spoon on a sippy cup, keeping perfect time with the classic rock you’re playing in the background. Or maybe your little gal would rather drum her Barbie’s on the washing machine lid then dress them up. Go with the flow, and buy them a kid’s drum set! Up front we will tell you that most drum sets aimed at the kiddie market are pure junk. Listening to the cacophony produced will make you regret your decision – and might turn your kid off to an otherwise promising hobby/career. Here are three drum sets that won’t. 1. Ludwig Accent Nomad Drum Set: Geared for juniors, but made with the same shell material and hardware that accompanies their better full size kits, this is the best kid’s set currently in production. Great sounding wood shells with hardwood veneer and high-gloss finishes will get your child off on the right foot – or left foot, whichever they prefer when kicking out the bass!
2. The Tama Superstar Series Drum Set: This affordable set features versatile basswood shells that sound good no matter what style of music is being learned. That will reduce your “cringe” factor when junior is jamming in the basement, working on his technique. You’ll enjoy taking a turn behind them, too!
3. The Ludwig Element Series Drum Set: Geared for students, this set features well-made Birch shells that deliver fantastic mid-range sound in all genres. This set is found in teaching studios everywhere, and your budding drum-master will learn to love all styles by banging on this set, which exudes clear, firm tones that resonate with audible excellence.
