Summary: Quality Musical Instrument
Comment: My 4-year-old nephew requested a drum set for Christmas and I didn't want to buy him something that "just made noise" but a musical instrument that could grow with him. I hesitated before spending this amount of money on an instrument that he might not want to learn, but when I passed up the opportunity to get it for Christmas and he seemed disappointed I decided to purchase it for his birthday. When we unpacked the instrument we truly began to realize what a terrific value this drum set is for the amount of money that we paid for it. We received 5 drums, 2 cymbals, a stool, and drumsticks - the set was beautiful and clearly good quality. The birthday guests were all very impressed by the professional look - a family member with professional experience in music "confirmed" that this is indeed a quality musical instrument rather than just a good looking toy. It was good that we had this family member around - the drums needed to be tuned and positioned correctly and we, as non-drummers, were fairly off in our set-up. However, the seller had provided us with clear instructions and offers of assistance that made us right enough that our nephew never would have known our errors in any case. Most importantly, our nephew was clearly thrilled with the gift - he played the rest of the afternoon only stopping long enough to let his younger brother take a very brief nap. When he heard his brother wake up, he RAN back to the drums to play again. He says that he is a rock star now and I'm not sure if he sounds like one, but he sure does look like one with his awesome drum set!

Summary: Excellent Bargain
Comment: I wondered what type of quality I would be getting for this low price.
I was extremely surprised at the sound and quality of the set.
My son is really pleased that after assembly, he could start practicing right away and not have the set sound tinny and cheap.
5 star recommendation!

Summary: Great child sized drum set!
Comment: Got this for my 11 year old son and it has been a perfect fit! Great bargain for a whole 'real' drum set but scaled down just right for a pre-teen. I highly recommend as a very economical choice for any 10-12 year old child who is at least somewhat serious about drumming.

Summary: Very nice set.
Comment: Overall these are a pretty solid. The hardware and cymbals are pretty low quality, but for the price it is nice. It arrived in perfect condition and it is a really sharp looking little set. As a life long drummer it was easy for me to set up, but I can easily see how someone with no knowledge of this stuff would struggle. It took me about 45 minutes to get it all together. Not much more, and I took my time. Of course I knew where everything went. I'd think a person that didn't know anything about this would probably take a couple of hours. The directions are really poor. Common sense should be enough though.

Getting an all inclusive set for around $[...] shipped is a real bargain though. I debated just getting a normal sized set for my 4 year old, knowing he could grow into it, but that would have cost me at least $[...] for anything even remotely decent- that included everything (cymbals, sticks, throne.) I looked around for months- shopping, comparing, shopping more, and this was by far the best for the money. The 1st Act stuff is pretty junky in my opinion. This wasn't as great as I had expected, but again for the money you can't go wrong. It's small, so they won't use it for a ton of years. The good part of that is they will be less likely to wreck it. I think I could sell it now for more than I paid for it locally. I know that when I do eventually sell it I will not lose much of anything on it. It does seem durable enough for my 4 year old, though.

Really, if you are hesitant, don't be. I am as frugal of a shopper as you will find and always work hard for the best deal. I found one here, and you can to. I bought the black. Really, really sharp!

Summary: This is a well-made drumset
Comment:
I originally bought a "bargain" from another store and was disappointed by the size and quality. It was a plastic toy that cost $100 and it arrived damaged. Then I contacted Vintage. I purchased the GP55 Child Size Junior Drum Set. This is a nice size drum set: fully adjustable, with wood sides,all metal hardware, and the ability to be tuned. It is truly a scaled down version of a full size set. My son loves it!!! The company was great to work with.
