Remo Kids 10” Floor Tom Drum with Mallet– REMKD508001

Product Description

The Kids Floor Tom can be played with hands, mallets, or sticks. Compared to the Gathering Drum, the Floor Tom is smaller in size and higher in pitch. However, its more compact size makes it just right for individual drummers and imaginative team players.

The Floor Tom can be used in combination with any of the other Remo Kids Percussion instruments to create a Kids Drum Circle. Drum Circles are a wonderful way for a group of children to experience the importance of teamwork and discipline while building listening skills that will continue to benefit them throughout their lives.

High Quality Instrument/Toy Made in USA! Great Sound!
I got this drum for my son's 4th birthday. He was excited to get it. I don't mind the sound at all. It is not a loud annoying sound like some cheap toys are. We also had the large lollipop Remo drum already, which we all enjoy. I also have a 18 month old. There is a mallet for each of them and they both play on it at the same time. But, I put the mallets up when not in use because these mallets are wrapped and tied. Lollipop mallet is not wrapped. I highly recommend both drums. The large lollipop has a lower pitch than the floor tom. My husband and I also find it hard to resist playing on them. We plan to add to our collection of Remo kids drums. Also, it is great that they are made in the USA.

Best toy my 1 and 5 year olds have.
I bought this drum based on the positive reviews, and I was still surprised at the quality. The sound is terrific. It is an authentic and sturdy drum. You might need to be careful with the kids. My 5-year old stepson stood on top of it, and it didn't break. He was instructed to never do that again, but he probably will! It's a big hit with all our friends, both little and big.

If you have two kids, you'd better buy two!!
Oh what a mistake...I have a toddler and a preschooler and thought it would be neat to buy this Tom Tom plus a pair of Bongo drums. Forget it! They fought over this one because of the mallots and the deep sound. Now I have to order another one!! The poor Bongo drums lie silently nearby.

This is definitely a high quality, durable drum with a great sound. What a nice gift if a kid's parents like banging! Seriously, there's something about the bounceback feel of the mallots and the reverberation that feels so primal and soothing. That and watching my kids' intent faces and little arms waving. It makes for great video.
