Will this drum set work for a 1 year old? I'm trying to sort all the reviews on the drum sets. Some good some bad. Help?!?!

This drum set will stand up to ANY 1yr old . My 2yr old hits as hard as any adult drummer and his set still looks like new .

No probably more 4 y/o age this is a working set can use if you are taking lessons

I believe it may be a little too big for a 1 year old. He would probably not be able to reach the pedals or drums from the seat.

I bought it for my 4 year old and it was perfect. I can see 3 year old at the minimum. At 1, my son started off making his own drums set out of whatever was around (pots, water jugs, etc...) and used chopsticks for drums sticks. I say go that route first ;)

It's actually funny...I don't really know. I never did figure it out. When my son turned 4 months am started banging the toy he changed the tune. I tried banging it myself, nothing but the same music came on. I hand the toy back and he bangs it and the music changed. I'd ask him but he doesn't talk yet...Sorry I'm no help. My sons keeping it a secret. He's 1 now, hopefully someone else can help.

I got this for my son when he was 4. He is almost 6 now. He plays these every day since day one and loves them. Its a perfect starter set. The quality is better then what I expected. You do have a lot to put together - I have never played drums and was able to do it no problem.

I just purchased the drums on Christmas for my 8 year old. He plays them regularly and beats them pretty hard.. They lasted thus far... I have no complaints .. I believe my $$ was well spent on these drums.

I purchased them for my son when he was less than 1.5 years old. He still plays with them now at over 2! In answer to your question, I think 1 year old is fine. He will learn to build bigger and better things as he gets older. I recommend these blocks to your 1 year old for sure.

I think it would be ok. I bought it for a 6yo boy. The quality is more than a toy but less than a real drum set. A little but of a pain to put togetherI hope this helps

Yes I think It would be great for a 1 year old. I have a 9 month old, a 14 month old and 2 4 year old grandchildren. And they all want to play with it.

I think so. I got it for my 10 year old and it allows for setting the drum pads at any height and spacing. I'm sure it would be fine for a 5 year old. Plug it into a small practice amp or some ear buds and you're good to go.

If you are asking about a 1 year old, I would have no problem buying this for a 1 year old of my own family. There are no moving parts that can be pulled off, everything that control music, games or on/off are under the overlay for the front of the Leap frog. Of course you have to use your own judgment based on your individual child and following manufacture suggestions are recommended. It is really a fun toy and my grandson loves it.

Hi, I think your 1 year old would love it, it keeps my 8mo occupied lol ...Its definitely a toy that a child can grow with since the toy aims to teach children, for example by pressing the number buttons on the remote it says what number you pressed hence the child can learn numbers, the volume up button actually raises and lowers the volume, there is also a 'change the channel' button which changes the songs played. Its a great toy for a child's development since it also encourages precision movement of their tiny fingers in pressing buttons as well as encourages their understanding of the functions of the toy and for the price its a deal! I don't regret purchasing it!

Ronnie, this is a good beginner set for younger children. Even though your son just starting to play the drums, at fourteen he's going to need something a bit sturdier I suppose and something close to the real thing, as in sound and pitch.

I think he may be a little young. I bought if for my girls who are 6 and 7 they seem to be a good size for it. There are drum sets that are a bit smaller( Jr sets) they may fit him a little better.

I would say no. It is designed to be cognitively appropriate for children 18 months and older, but my 20 month old wasn't interested. If your one year old just likes sounds, this would work. If you want it to be educational, I would say pass.

I would say yes. My son will be 7 in April and he gets just enough out of it to where I don't feel guilty for not getting the most expensive set. I figure that start him out with these and if they decide they really like playing the drums I'll up grade later because at this age, who knows what next year will bring. I hope this helps.

I cannot answer this because we purchase this set for our 12 year old grandson. We are not savy about any drums. He is not either. And they do not live with us. Sorry. I did ask the daughter if she might can find out as her son can ask his dad(her ex - who is a drummer) and if they get back to me I will let you know.

I think this would be a great gift for a 1 year old. If anything, they would love the sounds. And learn as they play. =)It is very touch sensitive. However, I think that would be great for a 1 year old. They wouldn't have to pound on it to get a response. However, I couldn't say how well the toy would hold up. But my three year has stepped on it, and it's still working fine. :P
