My little Kenny is a fourth of July baby and is he ever the little firecracker! For the most part we already have gotten him his birthday gifts and just have a few more things to get him. Now he informs us that what he wants MORE THAN ANYTHING is a drum set like his cousin Eddy who he visited last weekend. Basically for most of the weekend we couldn’t get him away from the drum set. So I guess you could say that this shouldn’t have really come as a surprise.
My husband thinks that this is just great and I say that we don’t even consider such a venture especially this close to his birthday unless we can find quite a “deal” that is under $100.00. Because Kenny is only six years old obviously we won’t get him a full sized drum set but rather a childrens drumset, appropriate for his age. I am googling childrens drumsets like a madwoman to see what I can find. This may very well be a late birthday or early Christmas present. I think we have to be careful not to spoil the little wizkid! I hope that we can find a fun little kids drumset for Kenny so he can have a really special birthday as well as a really fun fourth of July, we’ll see!
I had my “Glory Days” when I was a teenager and that is enough for me. I played bass guitar in what I thought was sure to be a “happening” band. Those days are gone but the memories still linger. As a father I now see the idealism that I once possessed in my children and it is quite fun to live vicariously through them. And hey you never know, maybe “their” dreams will come true! My older son has been playing lead guitar for awhile now in a band that has gained a lot of popularity in our area. His younger brother seems to be interested in the drums.
My wife and I have begun looking for childrens drumsets so that our younger son can also experience the joy of playing music. He is quite happy about this and wants to come along with us to pick it out! Last night we all looked online together and found a childrens drumset that we all really liked and even more importantly, at a price that my wife and I really liked! I am glad to see that so far my kids seem to want to carry on the family tradition, (their grandfather played the banjo for many years). Music has always been an important part of our lives!
Drum sets are an essential part of any modern orchestra or music band. Drum sets are also called as drum kits and usually contain percussion components such as drums, cymbals and other drumming instruments. Childrens drum sets are quite different from the normal drum sets available for adults. They generally come as a 3-piece set for children who are in the age group of 5-9 years. These include a bass drum, a snare drum and a tom-tom along with a cymbal and its holder, snare stand, drumsticks and drum pedal. Childrens drum sets are typically available in colors such as white, red, and black.
Childrens drumsets are often used during ceremonial rights, marching bands and symphonies. These drum sets have all the features and amenities that are suitable for children. They come with stools that can be adjusted from 13 to 17 inches according to the height of the children using them. Nowadays, children drum sets are available in a variety of styles, designs and shapes. There are certain traditional popular drum sets which are designed for children in contemporary styles and designs but will also be comfortable for children to play. Children’s drum sets are made with attention to minute details so that they are safe for kids. These sets mostly come with chrome steel fittings and high gloss paint finishes in bright colors in order to increase their durability and to make them look attractive.
My kids have all chosen to play instruments and we are happy about that for the most part. Things are a little noisy at times but since our kids are happy and well adjusted we are game. Our oldest son chose to play guitar at a young age. We bought him a kids electric guitar that was recommended by a therapist who thought a hobby like guitar would help our son learn to channel some of his energy that stems from his ADHD diagnosis. And the rest they say is history, he has been playing that crazy guitar ever since! Our studious daughter LOVES piano and has dreams that one day she will be a concert pianist. We’ll see!
Our son, our baby seems to be following the family tradition. He says that he wants to play the drums. This does not surprise me as he seems to enjoy tapping on the kitchen table much to the chagrin of my tired and overworked husband! Our young son has a summer birthday and I am beginning to look at childrens drumsets now. It is actually kind of fun and I know my little boy will be SO pleased! He really looks up to his brother and nothing would make him happier than if he could play his little childrens drumset with his big bro!
You got your first kids drum set for your children but you’re not exactly sure what to do next. Should you encourage them, or just let them develop their appreciation for music on their own? But most children do better with a structure to help guide them along the path of self-expression. If you teach them a little bit, enough to point them the right way, they’ll be able to learn quickly and become a pro at the drums so fast you’ll be amazed. Music is good for the growing young mind. Rhythm, coordination, listening skills, and even math are all enhanced by playing an instrument. Tap out a rhythm to simple songs and melodies, and your child will pick up quickly, first by sheer imitation, then later on by learning the patterns of the sounds. After that, he or she can create his or her own beats to new music using the knowledge you taught.
After that, it’s time to get your little one interested in the downbeat and backbeat,based on a simple four-number repeating loop. Almost every simple song, such as childrens’ music, and even most rock songs and pop ballads follow this four-beat. Tap along to a music: one, two, three, four, and repeat. Associate each number of the beats with a particular drum, cymbal, or even combination of the two. Then let your child practice until the pattern becomes memorized, instinctive, and fluid. For instance, you could try the following: one (cymbal, bass), two (cymbal), three (cymbal, bass, snare), four (cymbal). Once this basic rhythm is mastered and your child has an intuitive grasp of how to handle the various parts of the drum kit at the same time, the real journey in music properly begins. No more random banging noise! Instead, your child will bang out rhythm and make god noise! Childrens drumsets can be lots of fun for the whole family!
Helping Your Child Be Who They “Really” Are!
For the most part I am a happy man. While I don’t love my job every day and you could even say that there are those days when to say I “like” my job, is pushing it! However in these troubled times, one must be grateful to even have a job. We have a nice home and while we certainly don’t live “high off the hog” we do feel very blessed. What is most important to my wife and I is that are kids are happy and well adjusted. It is at times a never ending job to see that you are kids are happy and learning to love themselves but if I could use anything as a barometer of my own worth as a man it would be that my kids love themselves for who they “really” are.
My five year old son kept telling my wife and I that he wanted to play the drums. He not only told us this verbally but he also showed it by his actions, (i.e. beating on anything he can find around the house including chairs, the floor and even his mother’s beloved coffee table!) This past Christmas we knew we had to look for a kids drumset, there was no question about it! We looked at various types of childrens drumsets and found much more than we bargained for. We chose a childrens drumset that we thought he would like and he just LOVES it. Our house is filled with the beat beat beat of the drum! I must say however that even at the age of five, he seems to have good rhythm and I believe he has potential. If he’s happy than I’m happy and all is good in the world, (at least are corner of it!)
We are in a new year and a new decade. I want to wish everyone a very happy and healthy new year. I have enjoyed music my whole life and spent part of my youth playing in a band. I noticed early on in my son’s life that he also is a musical enthusiast and that we should try and help him develop. He stated that he wanted to learn to play drums and so this past Christmas I purchased a kids drumset and not surprisingly, he absolutely LOVES it! I couldn’t be more thrilled.
As far as childrens drumsets go, I think I done good! I am quite impressed with the quality and affordability of what’s out there. He seems to have some natural ability as I had suspected. As a parent I want to guide my children and help them find balance in their lives and I am committed to that process. I am excited for the future!
So it’s the last day of the year! How does the time go SO fast? We just got through another good Christmas. Our kids still seem to be enjoying their gifts, so that’s good. As we prepare for New Year’s Eve, my young son promises to give us another concert as we more than likely will be watching new Year’s Rockin Eve again this year! We bought our son a childrens drumset and he just LOVES it! We really did our homework while searching for childrens drumsets.
I feel that success as a parent is seeing the joy in the eyes of your children. Money and career is important but nothing can beat the love between parent and child! Our older son loves karate and is soon prime to be a black belt. Sharing this accomplishment with him has been an incredible bonding experience for our family! My wish for this new year is that everyone can experience joy, sense of purpose and to be able to experience life as authentically as possible!
When Your Kid Likes His Christmas Gift Too Much!
Christmas was wonderful this year and Santa was quite good to the kids. I can’t complain except that the kids drumset we bought for our son is such a hit that he wants to play morning noon and night. I am glad that he is so happy and I feel good that my wife and I did our research when looking for childrens drumsets. I think we are going to have to do something to curtail the noise so that we can all get some good rest.
My wife says that she will deal with the situation by insisting that our son complete all his homework before he bangs on those drums. His playing time must be done by 8:00 pm. she says and if momma ain’t happy nobody’s happy. I have always been a music enthusiast and I think his passion is just great! I hope you and yours also had a nice holiday. Happy 2010 everybody!
I love Christmas and I am especially happy that this year I think that we will have a white Christmas. I really can’t wait until Christmas morning when my eight year old son sees the kids drumset that Santa has brought him. My wife and I had a lot of fun looking at all the really cool childrens drumsets that are available today. I have to admit that I am partial to the drums as I have enjoyed playing them for most of my life.
Last year we got a childrens acoustic guitar for our daughter and it has been a match made in heaven ever since. I think our daughter will be a good influence as far as the need to practice and apply the same discipline in other areas of life, like school work. I must admit that I am a little jealous as I wish that someone would get me a new drumset for Christmas! I do however enjoy living vicariously through my children.
