I got this for my 3 year old son for Christmas. We went to a heritage festival and they had drums kind of like these there. My son is a very strong Italian boy who can overpower me sometimes.. I couldn't imagine getting him drums so he can break them in a matter of seconds. Let me just say, I am completely blown away at how well made and sturdy these are! It's very attractive for kids as well with the pretty picture. My son is 51lbs and he's jumped on this and it doesn't even look like it's giving in at all. I can't believe it. My 5 1/2 year old daughter loves it too. It doesn't give you a headache even with them bashing on it nonstop. I even like to play with it when they let me. For anyone with a sensitive head or with rambunctious children this is the drum for you. I truly love this product!!!
