De Rosa DRM312-BK Children's 3 Piece 12 Inch Drum Set with Chair, Black Review

Average Reviews:

We purchased this drum set for our 3 year old wannabe Rock Star. He LOVES it...and Mommy and Daddy LOVE the quality of it! He has hours of fun "rocking out" on it with his microphone pulled up next to him so he can sing and drum at the same time. This set is deff better quality then the 1st Act stuff we saw at Toys R Us. We are glad we held out and found this set on Amazon. I think he will enjoy this set for a LONG time!

GP55 Child Size Junior Drum Set with Seat, Sticks & Cymbals - Red Review

GP55 Child Size Junior Drum Set with Seat, Sticks and Cymbals - Red
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Me and my friends were going to start a band and all we had was a microphone, guitar, and a discovery junior drum set with one symbol, 3 drums, a stool, and 2 very small drum sticks. The drums were bad for band usage. They were small. After all, with a little practice, our band turned out pretty good. Then we went up stairs for a snack and when we came back one five year old kid turned the drum that was needed badly for harmony and rhythm into a piece of unnecessary crap. We tried everything; scotch (the tape and not the drink), duck tape, glue, but the little kid ruined the drum forever and ever. Our band was ruined because of one little five year old kid. Who said little doesn't make a difference. We ended up performing in front of some friends, but since the drums were held up by chairs the drums didn't really make a sound.After that we tried to fix the drums, again.We didn't. As i was pulling over some money to fix the drums, i got a letter from amazon showing the new GP55. I checked on-line and i saw that these drums would be the perfect thing. Would you rather pay to fix a horrible type of drum or would you buy a great drum that costs the exact same price as fixing the bad one. The answer is easy. For 174.95 $ I could buy lord and empire of all 174.95$ drums ever. when i bought it came in a great organized pile. i took it all out and started jamming. This was a great move for me and I hope you find this review great for yourselves and the drums as helpful as they were for me.

Sabian Cymbal Bag Standard Review

Sabian Cymbal Bag Standard
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
A nice, padded cymbal bag, with internal separators coming handy when you have multiple cymbals (up to 6 pieces of metal).
There's also a nice outer pocket for sticks / the metronome, and finally, you can decide if you want to carry it on your shoulder or as a packpack.

Zildjian 14-Inch A Custom Mastersound Hi-Hat Cymbals Pair Review

Zildjian 14-Inch A Custom Mastersound Hi-Hat Cymbals Pair
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Okay i havent bought this item yet but at the bottom of the description it says "whats in the box" and it says Ziljidan ZHT mastersound hi-hat and that is clearly not A Custom mastersound which is what i want. i dont know what to do?

Click Here to see more reviews about: Zildjian 14-Inch A Custom Mastersound Hi-Hat Cymbals Pair

Zildjian's 14-inch A Custom Mastersound hi-hats feature the same crisp, rich and colorful sounds associated with the A Custom range, but with a bolder and full-bodied overall timbre. Hammered grooves in the bottom cymbal rapidly vent trapped air for a fast and clear "chick" sound.

Mastersound With its outer edge design of individual contact points on the bottom cymbal to help supply a clear and defined "chick effect" each and every time, the extra amount of "sizzle" that is given off by Mastersound hi-hats really adds a special dimension to the music you're playing. The design also adds extra high end "sparkle" to overtones when the cymbals are played partially open.
Zildjian A Customs--A Refined Classic Sound It's tough to top the unmistakable and reliable sound of A Zildjians for almost any playing situation, but the award-winning A Customs are an irresistible alternative. Developed with the assistance of drumming icon Vinnie Colaiuta, A Customs utilize radical rotary hammering techniques, thin to medium weights and a striking Brilliant finish for a crisp, sweet, sophisticated A Zildjian sound. Not too dark, not too bright--cymbals that are just right for modern music.
Alloy: Zildjian Cast Bronze: 80% Copper, 20% Tin, Traces of Silver.
Hammering: Radically modern rotary hammering for thinner weight cymbals.
Lathing: Fine pattern of narrow symmetrical grooves that create just enough stiffness.
Finish: All Brilliant Finish.
Sound: A bright, responsive, melodic and more refined take on traditional A Zildjian sounds.

Zildjian Cast Bronze Cymbals Cast Bronze cymbals are individually poured and cast from raw molten metal. Each casting is cooled and sorted by weight for each cymbal model, then the castings are put through a complex sequence of heating, rolling, shaping, hammering, and lathing techniques unique to each cymbal range.
Cast Bronze cymbals have a rich, full-bodied sound that improves with age, and have greater projection, clarity and durability than any other cymbals. Zildjian cast cymbals are made from the Zildjian secret alloy, which is comprised of 80% copper, 20% tin, and traces of silver.

Signature Music Pro Double Bass Drum Pedal New 7199 Review

Signature Music Pro Double Bass Drum Pedal New 7199
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First, I have 2 real Problems here... 1 with Amazon. The 2nd with the Pedal I received.
Problem 1.) I went LOOKING for a Double Bass Pedal for my son's drum set. When I came across this one, I wanted to get more info. Because I was distracted, I accidentally clicked on the "fast order" bar and immediately received a message "Thanks for your order, your credit card has been billed and you item will ship immediately... Have a nice day!". No problem, I thought. I'll go to Amazon and cancel the order. WRONG!! You can't cancel orders listed in "Amazon Marketplace". Amazon is just a front for some fly-by-night outfit. I thought "OK... I'm stuck with it. Maybe it isn't so bad." WRONG AGAIN!!
Problem 2.) The Pedal is JUNK!. I'm a Manufacturing R&D Engineer of 20 years. I know how things are made and go together. Nothing, ... NOTHING in this pedal says Quality. Quality didn't even slow down here! The Sheet medal part are miss-drilled, the castings are warped not drilled & tapped true, every bushing had to be re-set by me, because of the piss poor rushed assemble, every screw and bolt was loose (some were cross threaded), the paint was peeling and even the mallet posts didn't have enough thread on them to keep the felt heads and washers from bouncing up and down. I have to get extra washers to keep it from clinking.
So, why didn't I send it back? I didn't catch that it would cost over $22.00 to ship it (most drum houses would ship for free!) and it would cost another $22.00 to return it. Re-sell it? I'm too honest to stick this junk on someone else. Do yourself a favor... LOOK at a BRAND NAME pedal and CHECK the SHIPPING CHARGE.

Simmons Digital Multi Pad Electronic Drum Set Review

Simmons Digital Multi Pad Electronic Drum Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)

I have only used this product for learning how to play so I have not used all of it's capabilities and probably never will. Pro's
Very competitive price.
Design and interface are good
Build quality is good. Cons's
Processor has trouble registering beats when using three or more in a rhythm pattern. If you hit the pads harder this is not a problem so it sort of forces you to concentrate. Heavier sticks might help. It does not have that many preprogrammed acoustics kits but they are programmable. Pads are small so this is not meant for a young child. The processor works okay and is not going to impress you but for the price range what are you going to do.
If Simmons put $50 more dollars into this it would be awesome. At two fifty for a amateur it is worth wild. I would compare it to an economical drum pad and not a toy. The Rolland alternative is about two times more and it would not be worth it to me. If you need a foot pedal/switch "Hosa" makes one that you can change the polarity of it for about 30 dollars with shipping but I have not tried one yet. The manual is just a quick start guide and is the only thing available at the time of this post. The drum pad is not that hard to figure out though.

New Pink Junior Children's 5-Piece Drum Set with Cymbals Stands Stool Sticks Hardware Complete Review

New Pink Junior Children's 5-Piece Drum Set with Cymbals Stands Stool Sticks Hardware Complete
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this drum set for my 5 year old. The assembly was a bit challenging, even with the instructional DVD. The finished product is very cute but rather flimsy & unstable--in particular the high-hat, stool, and toms. It is a lot of fun for a kid to bang on, but it is more a toy than an instrument. I would not recommend it for older children (8+) who want to learn to play an actual drum set.

very good product, besides the old package protected by a sturdy box and is lined to prevent moisture.
the product would recommend to add a link containing the sound of the dish when it is beaten with a stick to give an idea of the sound emitted
but perfect as you imagine

Stick Control Review

Stick Control
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was never a drum major. I began playing drums long after school so this book was a bit difficult to get into. It is basically a bunch elaborated rudiments and rudiment variations. Pages of them. I was bored and discouraged because the book is nothing but exercises and it is recommended that one play each exercise 20 times before moving on...
Practice with a capital P.
The only reason i continued with this book is because my instructor assured me that it was worth it. He opined that all the major players must have done these exercises....and then he likened it to the Bible. He was right. My hands are much faster and far more precise than they ever could have been without this book.

if you have the patience to COMMIT yourself to these exercises, you will be nice with the hands. period.

GP Percussion GP75WR Cocktail Drum Set (Wine Red) Review

GP Percussion GP75WR Cocktail Drum Set (Wine Red)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While this is not a regular drum set, it does offer alot for those who can appreciate it for what it is. If one plays it with Hot Rods drum sticks, the tones are more suited for an unplugged/acoustic set. Play the same drums with the included drums sticks and this kit can play loud enopugh to be heard over electric guitars.
The down side, as with all cocktail kits, is that it must be played standing up. The nature of the beast (or beats) I suppose. I love this kit and it makes a great addition to my collection.

Latin Percussion LPM1400 Udu Drum Museum Series Ltd Review

Latin Percussion LPM1400 Udu Drum Museum Series Ltd
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I happen to order a Meinl ID8-RB IBO drum the same time i ordered this drum and they both arrived on the same day within an hour of each other the Meinl arrived first, so i unpacked it and played it for about an hour and it had alot of various tones between the ceramic, and the fiberglass bottom, as well as a very deep base sound, but it was a huge drum and very awkward and uncomfortable to play on my lap.
Then the LPM 1400 museum series arrived an hour later, now keep in mind the LP is a mere $50.00 to the Meinl's $120.00 and yet the LP was packaged much better and also included a booklet telling you about the drum and showing the other models available, not to mention a very cool tightly wrapped round tweed rope stand and this drum was incredibly comfortable in my lap and had very bright and deep bass sounds, and i must admit so much more smooth playing than the Meinl.
It's just a great drum and has immediately become my favorite out of the 3 i have, the other 2 being the Meinl Liquid IBO drum $160.00 and of course the ID8-RB Ceramic/Fiberglass bottom newer addition, LP really makes a quality product and it will probably get the most play out of the 3 because of it's great sound and comfort and ease of playing....buy this drum.
