The De Rosa drm312 Junior Kids Drum Set - A Review

By Sam Carver


The De Rosa DRM312 Junior Drum Set is exactly the type of present I had in mind for my young nephew. Right when I noticed that he was showing interest in musical instruments (especially my friend's drum set - we can never leave his house without my nephew banging on the drums for a a while), I decided that I needed to get him something to help him expand on his curiosity.

The only catch was that I did not want to give him some cheap, plastic toy. I wanted to get him something that made him feel as if he was playing the real deal, just "child sized". So I bought him the De Rosa DRM312 Junior Drum Set, and let me say, this drum set does not disappoint!

This kit has the same basic features that you can expect to see in a standard sized drum kit. It is thrilling to see the whole thing assembled, especially with the bass drum, snare drum, and cymbal - so cute! And it includes with all the necessary peripherals, such as drumsticks, a bass drum pedal, and a drum seat.

It was a great deal for the price! I found it online at a steep discount from its list price. The most impressive thing about the set, though, is the sturdiness of all the parts. You can tell that this drum set is something that can handle a beating - as anything does that belongs to kids, and that it will not break easily. And I am certain that when my nephew outgrows it, my sister will not hesitate to keep it around for her next little one.

As mentioned by many other reviewers, there is a little assembly to do once the kit arrives. It might be a slightly confusing at first, especially if you have never assembled a drum kit previously. However, I highly recommend looking up the drum kit assembly videos posted on Youtube. They can teach you exactly how to assemble a drum kit.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this drum set to anyone who wishes to grant their child a hands-on understanding of music appreciation. The De Rosa DRM312 Junior Drum Set is excellent for the aspiring drummer new to the instrument.
