(More customer reviews)I have to say how impressed I am. This is not a "toy" kit. This is a real drum kit. It just happens to be small enough for children to play. I have been a drummer for 25 years and this kit is of the same quality as most of the kits I have ever played. Although I had no trouble setting it up I can understand that many people would like to have assembly instructions. I imagine many people who buy this kit for their child will not be drummers themselves and may not have put together other kits in their life. If you are buying this for your child and you are not familiar with drum kit assembly I recommend putting this together the night before you plan to give it to them, after they go to bed. It took me about an hour to put it together and I knew what I was doing.
With proper tuning these drums sound like a pro kit. It probably won't matter to your child at first, but when they start getting the hang of it you may want to look into how to properly tune drums. The internet has countless sites offering opinions on this subject. Do your homework then teach your child how to tune the drums for themselves.
The cymbal quality is the only thing about this set that is not pro quality. However, for the price, they will be fine as starter cymbals. You can't really expect pro cymbals as well for a total package price of $300. You could easily spend that much on cymbals alone.
We bought this kit for my son's third birthday. He can reach the pedals (which he cannot do on my full size set) and he has been having a blast acting like a little rock star. I'm sure this kit will be all he needs until he is big enough for a full size kit (if he sticks with it of course).
