DeRosa by Bridgecraft Child Drum Set *BLUE - DRM 312 - For 3 to 5 yrs


We got this set for our two year old and could not be happier. The quality of the drums are great for the price and I was actually surprised at how "professional" they were. Our son loves to bang away and this will be a suitable set for a few years, at least.

All drums include tuning keys so that the tightness and sound can be modified. There is a snare drum, a bass drum, a tom drum and a crash cymbal, along with a quality little stool.

Pros -
Quality "toy" (not really a toy, but an actual instrument)
Price

Cons -
As mentioned by others, the assembly instructions are TERRIBLE (we actually got instructions, but they were a photocopy and unreadable), but we figured it out in no time by looking at the picture online.

I have to say, if you are looking for a quality set that can be enjoyed for years to come and then passed along (not thrown away), this is it.


Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray 4 Bass, Ice Blue



An awesome instrument, really blows away any bass I have ever bought before. Flawless design and detailing, there was not a single bad detail on this bass, the only thing being the fact that it is a bit heavy and you will feel that after some time playing it. It includes a case, made in China, but sincerely I don't think I would risk this "investment" by sending it on a plane's luggage compartment in this case, seems a bit flimsy to me, and I wouldn't use it as sturdy protection. The blue finish: beautiful, not very common, and although I originally wanted a see through finish, this color is just so scarcely seen that it is worth it. The actual color is different from the pictures seen here, so if you like the image posted on Amazon, you will love the actual color. An instrument that you sincerely can never part ways with, Musicman basses and quality control are simply excellent.
