Kids attention spans in general don’t last too long and as a parent you don’t want to spend too much money on a particular hobby because they could change their minds and be into something completely different in a matter of just a few weeks. When they are young, (say maybe 5 – 11 years old this is even more so. When my adorable little nine year old son told me that he knows he wants to grow up to be a drummer more than anything, I thought to myself, “You say that now buddy, but twenty years from now you’ll be singing a different tune!” Of course a certain degree of fickleness is normal and to be expected at that age. I was young once, I remember.
And so my search for kids drumsets begins in earnest. I am looking for affordability as well as quality. I know there are some good deals out there. My wife is always telling me that I need to lighten up and enjoy the ride so I will take her advice and try to do just that! Having a kids drumset in our home could be a lot of fun now that I think about it. As long as we can keep the noise to an acceptable level, I’m game!
