Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

ATTENTION! LONG-TERM USE REVIEW HERE! We bought this on Amazon almost 10 years ago as one of our (then toddler) son's first instruments. It has now been banged on by two boys growing up, their friends, used as a stool, action figure launcher, and who knows what else. This thing is of HIGH QUALITY. Remo makes great instruments. They also make SOLID instruments. This drum is nice because you don't have to be so worried about the kids hurting it. My acoustic guitar is hung up high on the wall. My tuba is hidden (as much as you can hide a tuba) in a hard shell case. This is out in the open for playing music, or just playing with. The sound is fairly deep, so you won't have a bashing headache as your young drummer finds his/her beat. Buy with confidence. Ours has been BEATEN in many ways and it still looks new.
