Allowing Your Child To Understand The Value Of The Dollar!
My son wants to continue his career as a drummer. He has been playing the drums since the age of five when e bought him a kids drum set. Now as a drummer in a band he is forming with his friends called “Camouflage”, my son is all but insistent that he needs an amateur drum set to get started on the right foot with his new band. So I guess he just assumes that good old Dad will come up with the money, No problem!
It’s not always easy as a single father but I will help my son get some beginner drums. However, he needs to get a part time job to help pay for these drums. My son is surprisingly in agreement with this plan and since I hold the purse strings I do have some say in what my son purchases. We are looking at amateur drum sets online and bookmarking sites that not only we like but are also affordable. I think having my son earn this drum set makes it that much more meaningful when he actually does receive it!
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!
My daughter has been wanting to play the drums like her older brother and sneaks in his room to play them any chance she gets. This of course doesn’t always meet with approval from her brother. Our daughter says that we have to get her a drum set like her brother’s for her upcoming sixth birthday. I think we will get her some childrens drums instead of an adult sized drum set. I know this will make someone very happy as she has a birthday coming up on the 12th of April.
Her very gracious brother may even be willing to give his sister a few pointers. I think we can get some children’s DVD’s to help with some instruction. When I was my daughter’s age I fell in love with the guitar and have pretty much been playing both acoustic and electric guitar ever since so I do understand her passion! I am looking forward to April 12th just as much as she is!
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!
So next week is Thanksgiving. Wow, where did the time go this year? As a parent you would think that I would be more on top of things but now Christmas is on the horizon and I haven’t even begun to shop. I know that my kid wants a drum set and I am thinking of getting one for him but I’m just not sure of the cost. The internet always has good deals so I guess I will look there.
He has been fascinated with the drums for several years now and so I guess it is time to look at some amateur drum sets and let him try it out. If he doesn’t like it so be it. As long as he doesn’t think I am going to spend money each year on his “hobby du jour” we are in business. Now if I can just figure out what to get my wife, I’ll be set. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
So what will Santa have in his sleigh this year? I know my daughter Liza can’t wait. She has told me that Santa will bring her some drums this year and it will be no problem for Santa to fit it in his sleigh. And Santa’s elves can make anything she says. “Oh boy!” I thought “Can Santa afford this, I might ask?” Apparently the economy hasn’t affected Santa this year.
My husband doesn’t think getting drums for Liza is such a big deal. Maybe he is right, since we will only be getting a kids drum set we can probably find a good one that is pretty affordable. Our friends are musicians and I know they can probably get us a good deal. I bet there are some pretty cute drums for children that Liza will really like. I guess her drum set will have a special spot on Santa’s sleigh after all.
My husband Steve says that we have to get a drum set as a Christmas gift for our nine year old son Ben. Steve says that his friend Patrick bought one for his son and the whole family is having such fun with it! Ben seems to want to learn to play an instrument and Steve says that kids drum sets are not that expensive. I guess I’m game if Ben is.
It’s great that in these times you can look online and search for good deals! Steve says that he is going to ask around as well. We certainly will also pick up a learn to play the drums DVD or book for Ben. I must admit that I can really see Ben having a lot of fun with this. I guess we will find out for sure on Christmas day!
My kid LOVES the drums. We gave him a toy drum when he was a toddler and trust me, it’s gotten plenty of use! Now that he’s eight he wants a drum set. So my husband Tom and I have been pricing childrens drum sets and are hoping to surprise him with one on Christmas day! Zachary, our son really wants one this year because his good buddy Jeffrey, (who lives across the street) has one! We want to give our kids what they most want for Christmas but finances are a little tight since I lost my part time job this year due to layoffs at the mortgage company where I had worked for fifteen years.
Of course we will get the kids some of the less expensive items that they have asked for but are not sure of some of the larger and more expensive ones. Recently I happened upon a website devoted to children which had some drums for kids that that were s lot less expensive than I thought they would be. So now I am thinking that a childrens drum set for Zachary may be perfect this year. Santa may do a pretty good job after all!
When my son showed some interest in learning to play the drums, I was pleased to accommodate him. It came as no surprise that all he really wanted to do was back the drumheads with reckless abandon. Well, I let him get that out of his system before instilling some discipline. The only reason I became such an accomplished piano player in my own right is because of my parents’ persistence.
I like rock music as much as the next guy, but I wanted my son to get a foundation in jazz – both because the music appeals to me and because it invites creativity. In fact, the jazz trio setup highlights kids drums in a way that rock music rarely does. A typical trio consists of piano, double bass and drums. With my wife filling in on bass, we were able to create a family band. We’ll be performing “Fly Me to the Moon” at a local fundraising event, and I couldn’t be more proud.
