First Act DiscOvery FP601 Marching Band Kit
Parade Marching Drum with Cymbals. Authentic style.
Reviews
"This drum is not red, and it is not model FP601."
"He has been making drums with small buckets turned upside down in the pockets of an apron."
"I loved the product, but it did get dents easily in the head and the straap was shorter than intended."
"Until this year, we've done everything to avoid what appeared to be a high price point for a "toy" drum, but all our reservations were gone as soon as it was in use! I was especially pleased to see an actual drum key, for tightening down the skin--that let me know this was designed like a real instrument, not just a toy! Our son who is playing now is five, and he spends much of the day marching through the house with his drum, while his little sister (or even I) follow him with the symbols."
"We bought this drum set for our 2 year old who is obsessed with the concept of drumming & marching."
"I bought this set after reading all the other reviews and they were right it was a little bit more money but a good invest for much futher family fun."
"The drum is sturdy and a lovely fire engine red."

Reviews
"Yes, the lovely Glockenspiel Xylophone arrived safe and sound. I look forward to when he is older and can make his own songs and play from the sheet music. One day, at a kindergarten meeting with his teacher, we hear Ode to Joy being played on the piano. I even played several types of music to them via headphones while they were still in utero..lol. I will be spreading the word on how great your product is."
"We saw a facebook post somewhere with video of a bunch of chickens playing one."
"I love that it's plastic free, came in recycled paper box and even had the itsy bitsy spider music sheet."
"The product seems very well made, and I was particularly pleased with the email from the company after I made my purchase."
"The notes have a great sound!"
"It's sturdy, the review about it being loose... ignore that they clearly don't know how a xylophone works."
"At first he was really smacking the key board pretty hard, but Grampa (me) helped him to be more gentle which did not happen overnight, and he's getting better everyday."
"My young grandson loves the colors and sounds."

"The video was much easier to follow than the instructions that can with the djembe."

Reviews
"But after 30 yrs of longing to drum again the Alesis Nitro kit has me back at my former level and able to practice anytime day or night without bothering my family or the neighbors. Finally, I went to Guitar Center to check out some of the more professional versions of electronic drums only to see a higher price also meant, heavier, less compact and very little improvement in sound-for-the-money. And best of all, the buid quality, setup feel, real pedals and overall experience put the user in the ananlog drum set world!"
"Crash and snare have multi-zone sensors which is something you dont find on many sets in this price range. Snare can get good rim shot sounds and you can choke the crash. You even have the option to expand and add an additional tom and crash which is not normal for kits in this price range. Bang for the buck - This kit comes with everything you need to start jamming including sticks a real (and good quality) kick pedal. This is a bit nit picky for a kit at this price point but I would have preferred a multi zone ride."
"Yes, you can spend more money and get better pads, but these work just fine."
"I imagine over a period of time they will wear and not have the same feel, but I've been playing them almost every day for the last few months and all has held up well (and I'm playing them like a normal kit, i'm not just tapping them). This is a good option for me to start playing after a 30 year hiatus, and while I can't review it against other kits or an acoustic one (I haven't played in so long), I would say that this fits the bill for what I'm looking for. The ones a played around with in the store that didn't have a bass drum pad didn't feel like a real bass drum."

Reviews
"I have read the reviews for this set (some good, some horrible) but as a musician and a fellow drummer, i'm here to spill the facts. Overall this is an amazing price for starting out fresh with endless possibilities to expand. Plus, my hardware is still perfect, but the cymbals are for practice only (dont expect Zildjian, just something to train with till the time is right."
"With the help of our daughter's band teacher, we selected this set."
"For the price this set comes with a lot of great features."
"Good quality for the price."
"The drum set was relatively easy to set up by watching the instruction dvd that came with the set. Overall I gave the drum set four stars out of five because although it has its flaws, it fulfills its purpose, which is being a good drum set for a beginner."
"EXACTLY WHAT I EXPECTED!!!"
"The good thing about this set is that it fits in small places if set up right, it is also good for if you don't have a lot of money to spend."
"but great drum set if you upgrade it and buy new equipment."
