1.0 out of 5 stars | Save your sanity!!!
Color: Orange
Product Packaging: Frustration-Free Packaging
So wanted to love this. Our little one loves drums, but this thing is the absolute most annoying toy we have ever owned. You cannot just play the drum sounds without incessant, agitating music and talking on in the background the WHOLE time. It is just aweful. I so wish we had gone another route for drums. Toy noises don't usually annoy me either, this one is just really bad. It also doesn't pause the noises when not in use. If it is on, it just keeps going and going and going. My advise, don't do it!! Save your sanity!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars | This thing is tiny.
Color: Orange
Product Packaging: Frustration-Free Packaging
I just want to start by saying, I think this is a super cute and wonderful toy. My 2 year old son, absolutely LOVES it and hasn't stopped playing with it since I took it out of the box. That said, this thing is TINY! I mean, SUPER TINY. For the cost and a kid's average size in the age group recommended for it, it needs to be at least 2 if not 3 times bigger. It's also really really quiet. I'm all for quiet toys, but this is a DRUM SET, it should be loud. Although some parents might love this feature. Again, my son loves it, I'm the only one disappointed in it, thus the rating. I've added photos with other toys for reference. Hope this helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars | Not annoying. Like at all.
Color: Orange
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
There are times when you know your kid is going to love something so much that you overlook just how very ridiculously annoying that thing can be? Well I’m sure glad I took an gamble! This toy is not really as annoying as I thought it would be. I haven’t needed to hide it away or remove the batteries and tell the kid too bad so sad, it died and it’s gotta go bye bye. In fact I’ve recommended it in my mommy group to moms with other toddlers my kids age. The volume settings are pretty awesome and not at the top of the toy. My son has yet to figure out how to change the volume. This is a 2 year old that knows how to operate a keyboard and change the tones and beats of the thing. Either way, even in the loudest setting it isn’t super loud. Just loud enough. I cannot hear it when he plays with it and I’m in the next room. It’s pretty great.

5.0 out of 5 stars | Fun toy to learn with!!
Color: Orange
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
The media could not be loaded. This is a fun toy for the young ones. When you turn on the drum it says, "Let's jam!" "Hit the drums to play some music" (then plays music) It is a male voice, very up beat. The Follow Me button, the male voice says rhythm challenge. The drum plays one beat and then you follow. It'll add one more beat each time. Which is fun and your child is learning, (memory game). 123 Jams button lights up one drum and counts when your kid hits that drum. Immediately lights up another and continues counting. Alpha beats your child will learn the sounds of the alphabet and a word. For example the male voice says R rr-rr-Run! (Some letters it just says the sound) it does stop after some letters and says fun things like, "no time for a nap, now tap tap tap," or "let's keep going!" When you turn it off it says "let's jam again soon." This drum set is pretty small. Still entertaining and teaches a lot. If you're looking for a bigger set, search on Amazon for Vtech Zoo Jamz. This drum set is only a few dollars more and comes with a small seat. (Attached video and pictures) Both are a lot of fun for our little one!

4.0 out of 5 stars | Great product. Would be 5 stars but I didn't ...

Great product. Would be 5 stars but I didn't like that you have to actually push the power button ever time you want to play. My one year old has not mastered that but he loves to bang on this. It is also quite a bit smaller than i was expecting but it is really reactive and sounds pretty good.

OMG! My nephew is 18 months old and went crazy over this! He played it for hours Christmas day and at one point he was put down for a nap, but the drum speaks and lights up; as he started to fall asleep, it lit up and said 1,2,3. Come play with me. He stayed lying down, opened one eye, grabbed the nearest drumstick and hit the drum and fell back to sleep. When he awoke, he kept playing with it no matter what other toy he was offered. Love, love this item.

2.0 out of 5 stars | Will drive you crazy
Color: Orange
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
We have two small children and are used to vtech and similar electronic toys that start singing or talking at the slightest touch, to the eternal annoyance of parents everywhere. But all of them at least stop talking after 30 seconds to a minute of not being played with, so the positives outweigh the negatives. Not this one. IT NEVER EVER STOPS NO MATTER HOW LONG NO ONE IS PLAYING WITH IT. Instead this super annoying voice keeps saying, "Hey little rocker! Let me hear those drums!" Like every 20 seconds. Now is it possible that at some point it finally gets the hint and shuts up? Maybe, but I've never tested it for fear of my sanity. So you literally have to stop what you're doing and press the off button every single time your kids finish with it because if you don't, "Hey little rocker" will drive you crazy.

3.0 out of 5 stars | Interesting toy at first but unsure if most children would use it to full potential
Color: Orange
Product Packaging: Standard Packaging
My small son seemed to have a proclivity for beating on objects and trying to tap out rhythms when he was very young (age 2), so we purchased this drum set hoping that it might further encourage him. This little set is decent and does have four separate functions including our favorite, where a rhythm is played and then a drum or the cymbal is lit up for the toddler to tap. While this sounds great in an advertising promotional, in real life it just did not hold my son's attention long. He played with it some during the first week, a little bit in week two and after that has rarely touched it. I might also say that many smaller children lack the muscle control and focus needed to tap out some of the rhythms even if they are musically inclined. What more often happens, is that for my son or any of his friends, within seconds, they reject the programmed rhythm and just start banging on the toy for fun. And therefore, long story short, while this drum set has the potential to be a decent educational toy, I have a feeling for most children that it will be something fun to bang on for a bit and then discarded in a closet or some such.
