Remo RH-1206-00 Rhythm Club Konga Drum - Rhythm Kids, 6"

got this for my 3 1/2 year old. we own several Remo kid's percussion instruments, and we love them all. i have found that the rainforest print is slightly higher quality than the multicultural kid print (better heads), but this one is still very nice (they all are). the rainforest print ones cost a lot more too, so these are great for your budget. this one has a nice, clear, resounding (and loud!) sound, not unpleasant or tinny or dull. very nice of course that it has a strap- he can march around the house with it, which is what kids love to do. it seems very sturdy. even though it is not made in the USA like our older ones were, it still seems durable and well made. i expect it to last for a very, very long time.i would highly recommend this drum for kids 2 - 10 or even older. i wish the print wasn't so juvenile, that is really the only drawback i have. it is okay and all, but just looks like i belongs in a preschool. i like the rainforest print much better.i will say, if you are unsure about a drum to get say, as a gift, especially for someone else's child, please consider a few things. yes, duh, drums are loud. and while i love to hear my little kids clammoring away on the musical instruments, some are...shall i say....less obnoxious than others. i am just being honest! starting out with high quality (like remo) is the first step. but i will just be honest and say that some of the other drums are not as loud as this one, or maybe just don't lend themselves to being banged on so loud while my toddler tyrant marches around the house to be sure everyone hears him strut his stuff. the floor tom is an excellent choice for letting kid's get their jollies out, but with a less obtrusive sound. especially for little ones, even babies. i love the remo floor tom. but this one has its advantages with the strap and clear, bright sound. just be warned, the parents and siblings will be hearing a LOT of it! some families won't mind; it doesn't usually bother us. and if it does, we just put it up. good luck!!

This drum was bigger than we were expecting and very sturdy. The head is synthetic and not paper, so it is built to be beaten on. Our grandson loves it and can also use it as a little stool. The graphics are very bright and beautiful.

Bought this for our 7 month old granddaughter, who's starting to bang on things. The construction quality is really excellent - the interior bolts and wingnuts pose no risk to a child this young, who isn't strong enough to upon a tightened bolt, which is deep enough inside that she can't put it in her mouth. To those several reviewers who fault the sound, well, what do you expect for twenty bucks - a good bongo set goes for $300 or so. The drums sound best if placed on a hard surface (table, wooden floor - a rug will further dampen the sound). Any bongo will sound dead if you leave your hand/fingers on the head, you must "bounce" your fingers/hand off the head to allow it to vibrate.Acid test - within the first 60 seconds of seeing the drums, granddaughter was hitting each drum, one with the left and one with right hand. without prompting. I let her "play" a while, then I did some short couplettes, then she played some more. After five minutes or so, of course, she was ready for another toy (one she could put in her mouth). Sometime later I sat with her and played a youtube video on a laptop of a "first bongo solo" lesson. She immediately looked around for her bongos and began beating away again.My overall impression is that this is a great toy instrument to develop dexterity and rhythm. I also got some small mallets, which I am presently withholding as the handles need to be shortened and she's just not ready for them. When I do introduce them in a few months I expect her to be pleased with the different sound and hopefully she'll be ready by twelve months for a djembe or tomtom. Kimberley Thompson, we're comin' for ya!

As a musician I have owned various Remo products in the past and while these aren't professional quality by any means, they are a fun, sturdy starting point for someones little fingers. The built in legs keep them just high enough off of the surface to allow the drum head to resonate (except on our medium pile rug) and they are strong enough to handle a smashing (I often find him beating on them with my drumsticks). The drum heads are not tunable, but they do sound quite nice right out of the box. The good thing about these is the sound actually gets better over time. As they loosen the tone gets nice and mellow. We used to keep a few of the earlier models of these Remo drums in the studio for recording because they had a surprisingly nice tone, nothing has changed there. Another bonus is I often find myself playing along to his favorite ( Groove to the Music ) music with them while he dances around the room.The images on the drums themselves are of all different types of people and offer a form of entertainment in themselves. Often our son will become disinterested in actually drumming, but he'll sit there pointing at and asking questions about the various faces that are featured all over the drums.For those of you about to click Buy I have a suggestion: out of the box the wing nuts should be checked for tightness. Ours came a little loose and the drums could twist a few degrees in each direction. My experience as a drummer also reminded me that after I tightened them down to put just a drop of  Loctite THREADLOCK BLUE 6 ml. 24200  on each screw to keep the nuts from backing off over time.All in all they were definitely a good buy. We both enjoy them immensely and I expect they'll be here for the long haul.

Super pour notre petit-fils de 8 mois qui joue déjà de la musique en dansant !

Tamaño ideal para niños pequeños, esta hecho de un material resistente y de excelente calidad, los colores son muy bonitos y suena bastante bien. Llego justo el día indicado gracias a Amazon Prime! Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Great sound off these.

Ho preso il tamburo insieme al tamburello per mio figlio di circa un anno. A lui piace moltissimo, il suono è intenso e forte, lo consiglio per chi ama la musica e non è infastidito dal troppo rumore. La bacchetta è ben fatta e al bimbo piace portarsela in giro ovunque vada ed è sicura anche per un bimbo così piccolo. Unica pecca: non ho trovato il marchio CE né sulla scatola né sul tamburo.

ピアノのレッスンにきているこどもたちが大喜びです。「今日はたいこは？」と毎週レッスンでたたくことを楽しみにしています。音も良く、また縁も金属でないので、小さな子にも安全です。
