My son seems to be very artistic and just LOVES to play! He really loves music and just seems to want to tap to the beat naturally. My husband suggested that we a great gift for his next birthday would be a childrens drum set! We looked extensively to see what we could find and were delighted one- at the affordability and two- at all the really cool amenities available to kids! Two weeks ago we presented our son with this very cool kids drum set and we were “over the moon” to see how excited and filled with joy are son was and still is!
It is wonderful what is available online for children to learn proper technique. We have also gotten him some DVD’s. At some point we may consider getting him a private instructor when he gets older. I must say that our son gets his love of music honestly as his parents have been music enthusiasts most of their lives as well. His older brother continues to play keyboards in a local band while attending community college. In my mind life would be pretty dull without the sound of music!
What do you get a kid for his birthday who is obsessed with drums? Who spends his days watching his idols, (like Tommy Lee believe it or not) play the drums and bangs on anything he can find to the beat. Without too much thought, you get him a drum set and not just any drum set but a kids drum set! My son will be absolutely beside himself! I might even have him look online with me so we can look at all the childrens drum sets available and find the “perfect” match!
While this may cost me a few bucks I know it will be worth the investment because the drums definitely won’t be sitting in the corner collecting dust! Getting him a childrens drum set may inspire me to want to start playing again. It’s a great outlet and I did enjoy playing as a teen. Who knows what a bonding experience this could be for my son and I. Time will tell!
Both of my sons seem to want to follow the beat of the drum. As a father I am glad that they have interests. I have friends who find it difficult to get their kids interested in anything, so I count myself lucky! My fourteen year old son has been playing drums since about the age of seven when we bought him a childrens drum set. He has since outgrown the kids drum set so we recently bought him an adult sized more professional drum set. Our younger son, (now age six) has been more than excited to bang on his brother’s old childrens drum set! Our older son would allow him to play the drums every now and then and his kid brother viewed this as a GREAT privilege!
Our older son can teach our younger son but my wife and I think we will get him some lessons so that he can learn proper technique before really bad habits set in. We always look forward to what the future holds and more than anything we want our boys to be happy. Maybe they will play together in a band one day. We’ll see!
I am always amazed at what is available for kids today compared to when I was growing up. I guess my parents felt the same when I was a kid. The only thing that concerns me is that with all of the electronics in today’s world, kids are inadvertently encouraged to live more dormant lives. As a parent this can make it more difficult to encourage your children to play outdoors and get some exercise!
My adorable little five year old son has a big birthday coming up, (hey when you’re his age any birthday is BIG and EXCITING!) Thankfully he does enjoy playing outside on the humungous swing set that my husband built for the kids last year. He tells us that this year for his birthday he really wants a kids drum set. I think that this would be a wonderful gift as it can also teach him the importance of rhythm and timing. Again my husband and I are amazed at the wide variety of drums for kids available today! I think that we will opt for a three piece childrens drum set as that seems like the most appropriate fit for him right now. I know that on May 30th we will have one happy little boy in our house! My husband and I will just have to prepare ourselves for the inevitable noise, oh well!
My wife and I have become “professional jugglers” like everyone else. Of course I don’t mean that we literally can juggle numerous objects without dropping any of them on the ground, but we feel forced as many of you do to have that “multi-tasking thing” down! Part of our juggling act this spring includes a birthday party for our five year old son! My wife usually does most of the planning since I think she believes that I will somehow mess it up. My task, she says is to choose a kids drum set to present to our son at the party. This will thrill our son BEYOND belief! He has been asking for a childrens drum set since Christmas.
A perusal of some local music stores and a search online has offered several different options for kids drum sets. I think I have it narrowed down to what our son will probably like best. I’m sure that on May 9th all our friends and family will (like it or not) get to hear our son’s enthusiastic first beat of the drum!
My mother has spoiled my kids for many years and while I am delighted to see this, I wish that he had treated me and my three siblings half as well. She is well aware of all my children’s birthdays and because she knows that I am a single parent wants to dote on my kids even more. She knows that my very lovely young daughter is approaching her sixth birthday and more than anything in the world, wants to play the drums! I don’t want my mom to spend too much money and so I told her that a childrens drum set would be just fine
Mom wants to buy a kids drum set that is of good quality and will last. I have been doing a search online for beginner drum sets. My daughter will be thrilled beyond belief! I only wish that when I was my daughter’s age and began playing the drums my mother had been even remotely this enthusiastic. Don’t get me wrong my mother is a lovely lady who only gets more lovely with time!
My little girl is a bit of a “tomboy” you could say. She has three older brothers so it’s no surprise that she grew up playing boys games. She loves to climb trees, play softball and ride her bike. I am glad she likes the outdoors so much. She has a birthday coming up and she is very excited that she is turning eight. Several weeks ago we spent time at my brother’s house and she loved watching her older cousin play the drums. My brother had bought him a drum set several years ago as my nephew has been playing in a band hoping to make it into the big leagues!
My daughter has been fascinated with the drums ever since she visited with her cousin. It took me some time to warm up to the idea but I have decided to get my daughter a childrens drum set for her birthday. She will be thrilled beyond belief! It is amazing how many really fun kids drum sets are out there. I want my daughter to be exactly who she is and I’m glad to support her in any way I can!
I love my mother I really do! She has been a good mother to me and now she wants to majorly dote on my kids. It is fine with me as long as she doesn’t spoil them too much and make them think that the world will just hand them things on a silver platter. She actually is the perfect grandma who knows that her wonderful young grandson has a big birthday approaching. She wants to get him what he’s been talking about the very most lately, a childrens drum set! I told my mother that if he really wants this then we will go in on the cost. Because my mother is unfamiliar with the internet I have begun a search online. As is often the case with the internet, if you really look, you can find some incredible deals!
Yesterday I looked for some beginner drum sets that do seem to be in our price range and a little cheaper than I thought they would be. I have to admit that when I was young, I too loved the drums and wish that there had been more of the kids drum sets that I see available today! Hey you only turn seven once, let him have all the fun he truly deserves!
My son has been a ‘wiz” at pretty much everything he has tried. He is a great student with minimal work, and he LOVES math and science! He decided to rollerblade and began doing twists and turns almost instantly. We were thrilled, “scared” but also thrilled! Our inquisitive son had expressed an interest in the drums and so this past Christmas we bought him a childrens drum set that he just seems to love beyond measure. I really enjoyed checking out all the childrens drum sets that were available online.
Since he acquired his “extremely cool” kids drum set, he appears to have developed a good rhythm and sound. He turns on his favorite songs and “rocks out” to the music! I loved the drums at his age too and as a teenager spent a couple of years playing in a band, so I totally get why he loves it so much! Happiness is knowing that you have helped contribute to the obvious joy expressed in your children’s eyes!
Christmas is now long over but oh the memories remain. Most gifts we buy for our kids are loved when received but it isn’t too much time before the excitement is over and they’re onto something. Not the case with our young son! We bought him a childrens drum set and if we let him, he would “bang on the drums all day”. However despite the obvious noise, he seems to be developing some rhythm. We are actually setting him up with some drum lessons next week. He is quite happy about this.
Right now he is enjoying his beginner drums and we may get him a full drum set if he continues to enjoy the drums and shows some promise. My daughter still likes her Ipod but not with quite the passion her brother has for his drum set. I guess as a parent I am so glad to see him have a passion and want to work on something!
