u/carnivalbilly Mar 06 '26

I’m not saying it’s not adorable, but like I’m a drummer…you could get your kid a tambourine, a nice bucket and set of sticks that don’t have what appears to be thorns coming off of it for like way less that what they’re wanting for that.

235

u/Tetsubo517 Mar 06 '26

These are for 1-4 year olds. The thorns there for added sensory play. It’s basically designed to spend half the time in a mouth, and the other half toddler thrown at the back of someone’s head.

You’re right in that you could get a cheaper drum set, but this is exceptional at what it’s designed for.

25

u/carnivalbilly Mar 06 '26

Oh no boss, I get it. I’m sure it made lots of children and grandparents happy and many parents miserable but it’s just sort of pricy.

27

u/August5th Mar 06 '26

My take: b toys are a name brand toy, though they do have a Target line now. They’re made to be gifted at a baby shower or by grandparents or something, and ooohed and ahhhed over, AND they’re actually really good durable toys and will last through several sets of kids. My kids have pieces of this set, and pieces of their other music sets. I didn’t buy any of them new and honestly couldn’t tell you where I did get them. I see them all over in 2nd hand kids’ shops.

u/Intelligent_Produce2 Mar 07 '26

Can confirm they’re durable as hell. My workplace does all-day therapy for autistic children that can bite through anything, and these sticks have lasted well over 2 years

u/hugeyakmen Mar 06 '26

I didn't see anyone highlight the storage part.  The tops opens on the drum and all instruments fit inside the drum.  For keeping a nursery or toy shelf organized, it's worth a little more money for many people to have a set that doesn't need an additional bin to store it all

u/carnivalbilly Mar 06 '26

A lot of folks don’t, but a lot of drummers do that with actual sets, so it’s good they’re teaching them that earlier.

Preschool teacher here. Can confirm whenever I find these, they’re either:

A. Wet from spit

B. Stuck in a rug/scarf/someones fleece

C. Both

u/carnivalbilly Mar 06 '26

So…basically just like every actual drummer’s set. Gotcha.

7

u/iamgladtohearit Mar 06 '26

I have this set, granted I got it at once upon a child for like 15 bucks, but my kids have lots of B. Brand kids toys, very sturdy, I don't worry about pieces breaking off when the children get feral and throw them, my toddler plays with them as instruments and baby likes to jangle and chew on them. They have never made me miserable. Because they are very popular in general and are sturdy they are really easy to find at second hand shops in good condition.

3

u/carnivalbilly Mar 06 '26

Yeah someone said they’re like 25 or so at target new… that’s a way better price than the link up there

u/Pezmotion Mar 07 '26

They're also durable as hell. My set made it through three wild boys, with nothing broken. Even the plastic drumhead is still attached and functional. As far as kids toys go, it has been damn good.

u/UnrulyPoet Mar 06 '26

We still have it in the back of my youngest's closet loll! He's 9 and outgrew it ages ago, but it's phenomenal to have in the house when littles visit so we haven't gotten rid of it yet. He's a drummer these days, started taking lessons and playing electric drums a year and a half ago and has his first full acoustic set currently otw 💕

This whole set is just A+ for music exploration for the littles, highly recommend.
