I purchased the ION electronic drums for my 9 year old son. He loves to play the drums and I wanted something that would help him learned how to play various types of beats. The drums are very easy to use. You can slow down or speed up the beats. He absolutely love these drums. As a parent I love this gift because it's one of the few toys he received that requires no involvement from me.

My nephew wanted some drums for christmas. he is 12 so i thought this would be nice to get for him. Well he likes it but if i had to purchase it over again I probably wouldn't. Although it is for a little kid the sounds seems to be pretty weak in the speakers.. It'll get him by next time i will probably spend more money on a drum pad or just get the drums altogether. But for a little kid maybe 5 or 6 this wouldn't be bad.

I am surprised at the positive reviews. The first few minutes I noticed you could hardly hear the drums without external speakers. After a few hours of use I started hearing electrical hum. I really wish I never bought this at all, my 4 year old was so happy, but suddenly it stopped working. After a few minutes it would work again, but making buzzing sounds, and drums would work for a minute and then stop again. I am going to buy a name brand set after using this one. Will be sending it right back after 1 day of use.

I'd go to a musical instrument store, & compare with the others before buying, next-time:

as another said, the sounds are damn weak ( some sounds are apparently wavetable, and others are...

wavetable copies of FM-synth? )

So, it's got lots of different patterns

( 8-beat patterns, 16-beat patterns, Latin, etc )

and the LEDs on the pads light to identify when one SHOULD be hitting the pad,

and one can disable the drum from the playing-tune

( so that the only drum one hears is one's own drumming ),

and one can speed-up/slow-down the tunes...

For the money, I don't know that this can be beat

( I'd definitely go compare with the Yamaha ones, though...

partly because when one switches "kit", one doesn't get to choose by individual pad,

this IS a $35 item..,

and with only 4 pads, it's often impossible to get a group-of-sounds that one wants to practice with... )

There are 3 musical intelligences:

Melody,

Harmony,

& Rhythm.

Celine Dion gets Melody, but not Harmony.

Liberace & Elton John get filling-in Harmony, but can't match even the simplest Fugue.

Bach Fugues ARE Harmony-dance, far beyond what most nowadays have heard.

But, none of those train one in syncopation/rhythm.

This little "toy" does.

I'm using this to get the basic coordination into me BEFORE going & spending money on lessons.

( next is to mix this with a training-DVD, so I get further before the expensive tutoring/lessons! )

As with any resource,

IF USED COMPETENTLY, it can create great difference in one's capability.

The pads are MUCH better than with many cheap brands, btw...

Also, it can run on 6x "c" batteries ( alkaline ), should one need to do that, for some reason...

It does come with its AC-adapter.
