This is the book my son's band director told him to buy at the local music store, instead I bought it here for the same price, only this version has the CD included.

BOOMWHACKERS Boomophone XTS Whack Pack Review

BOOMWHACKERS Boomophone XTS Whack Pack
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just as the product's package states, Boomwhackers Tuned Percussion Tubes are indeed "instant musical fun," no matter what your age is! (My mom, at 71, enjoyed slapping the C-note boomwacker minutes after we unpacked the product.) This was our family's very first set of boomwhackers. First time boomwhacker buyers should truly consider this nice little set because it totally gives you all the start up items for maximum enjoyment and fun. This package includes eight boomwhackers--diatonic Scale, C Major; two mallets; one octivator / tube cover to change the sound of an individual tube; an information sheet; a XyloTote carrying case; and a "Whack--a--Doodle--Doo! Color-Coded Children's Songbook Volume 1," which contains 20 fun songs. Of course, more boomwhacker products and accessories are available, so in time your initial set can grow in size, range, and ability. For more information, just search for boomwhackers on Amazon and / or visit the Boomwhackers official website, which is one of the most creative places on the Net! At that webpage, you can hear the tubes, and you can find a plethora of fascinating products and ideas.
The designers of this set planned very well, and I am impressed with the musical opportunities that this kit can provide for children, families, youth groups, or school classes. The box displays a seal: "Parents' Choice Gold Award" from the Parents' Choice foundation. With just a quick review of product information, one can begin to see the potential for many musical adventures and team-building. Homeschooling parents / guardians who want to add music to their curriculums may truly appreciate this product. The included song-book is written in a very fresh, user-friendly way, and tubes are easily matched to songs / notes. Some basic music lessons are included in the "It's Time to Play Music Section." The enclosed information sheet offers insight on how to use and play the tubes as well as a humorous glossary of Musical Tubes vocabulary--- Boppin'; Carvin' the Air;" Duelin'; Groove....to name a few!
Features we love: The boomwhackers are sturdy, tuned musical instruments that are non-intimidating and approachable for anyone who simply has the ability to whack / hit something. They are well-labeled and colored coded with the songbook, which allows even people new to music access to song playing! The XyloTote is a handy carrying case as well as an instrument unto itself utilizing your boomwhackers in a grouped way. You can choose to play the tubes individually away from the tote or group together in scale order with the tote. You can carry the tubes, the mallets, and the book all together. The XyloTote has a pocket for the songbook. // In the Boomwhacker world, music can be as simple a tapping a basic rhythm or as complex as the songs on the CD WhackTracks: The Boomwhacker Sessions by Ralf Illenberger and Craig Ramsell.

Remo 18" Gathering Drum - Rainbow FabriFinish Review

Remo 18 Gathering Drum - Rainbow FabriFinish
Average Reviews:

Wow! Every community drum circle or theater department needs one of these amazing drums for color and depth / sound effects. This Remo gathering drum does have a beautiful, deeply rich sound that resonates... unexpected quality for a product in this price range and intended audience. This is a nice-sized, well-made drum, and two people can easy play it together with the mallets or with their hands. (Three small children could play together as well). We prefer to play with the mallets going from the edge of the drum head to its center. The feet of this drum are a nice touch, and they probably add to the sound quality by raising the instrument the floor a few inches. Though the drum is intended for children, we like the fact that it does not look like a child's drum....like the other Remo product with all the animals. The rainbow pattern is pretty--no age defining graphics; thus, adults will be attracted to this drum if they encounter it at a drum circle.
Use this product with thunder tubes, egg shakers, and boomwhackers to create a fantastic rainstorm, either for drum circle fun, percussion lessons, or theatrical productions.
