Thinking about buying your child a drum set? This is the guide for you.<\/p>\n\n\n

If we could only recommend one drum set for kids, it would be the PDP Player 5-Piece Jr. Drum Set ($499.99)<\/strong><\/a>. It’s one of the only drum sets created for tiny humans and unlike other drum sets, your child should be able to reach the pedal.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cDad! He\u2019s hitting me again!<\/em>\u201d shouted my oldest kid from upstairs. A rapid, rhythmic thumping pounded across the ceiling as my youngest ran away from the scene of the crime. I caught him about halfway down the stairs. He giggled and clung to the banister with one little toddler hand. The other held his weapon: a spatula. I sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we get you drums, will you stop hitting your brother?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He broke into a grin and nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOkay. Go say sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He dropped the spatula and clambered up the stairs as I pulled out my phone and started looking into drum sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, I\u2019d been planning to get him drums since the day he pulled out the pots and pans in the kitchen and started whacking at them. Also, I really wanted drums for me<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s just one problem: buying drums for kids<\/a> is confusing. Hell, buying them for adults<\/em> isn\u2019t exactly straightforward. So many brands. So many options. What does “14-inch hi-hat” mean? What’s a “drum key”?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s save you from some common mistakes and get your kid (and maybe even you) a drum set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
