Junior Drum Set Buying Guide for Children ages 4-8

Do you have a child who you would like to encourage to learn a musical instrument? Percussion instruments like drums can be a very good choice. They have a particular appeal to young, active boys, but all children can benefit. When your child takes drum lessons, they will learn the fundamentals of music in the most basic and simplest way for them to understand, even at a young age. It’s important to make certain your child has a good teacher who will impart proper techniques. The next step is buying a good economical beginner drum set (between $100 – $400) appropriate for a child 4 – 8 years old.

The Sound Percussion Junior 5 Piece Drum Set

For those looking for something adequate and inexpensive, Sound Percussion offers this decent starter kit. It includes a snare, two mounted toms, floor tom w/ legs, bass, bass pedal, hi-hats, crash/ride cymbal, hi-hat stand, cymbal stand, snare stand and throne. It has average shell construction and creates a bland tone. But this is a great inexpensive kit for assessing early talent.

CB Junior Drum Set

This kit is great for a younger rocker because the entire kit has been scaled down to suit the needs of the little ones. The kit comes with a snare, two mounted toms, a floor tom w/ legs, bass,bass pedal , hi-hat, crash, throne and cymbal stands. The Junior kit uses a bass mounted crash cymbal stand that mounts just behind the two mounted toms. It has decent heads already mounted, and a drum key for head tuning. Over all this is a superb beginning kit. CB uses a birch-maple dual ply mix, and that results in a sturdy shell with warm tone and solid projection.

Gretsch Blackhawk Jr. Drum Set

Though it is a normal sized kit, the Blackhawk is a very sturdy and forgiving drum set that can take the abuse and keep rocking. The Blackhawk comes with a snare, two mounted toms, floor tom w/ legs, bass,bass pedal , snare stand, sturdy double braced hi-hat and boom cymbal stand. Unfortunately, no throne or cymbals are included. But you may find some good package deals at your local music store. The Blackhawk uses great Basswood/Poplar shells that project a clear, warm resonant response that only gets better with age.

Ludwig Junior 5-Piece Drum Set W/ Cymbals

Ludwig’s entry into the junior market is a scaled down version of their legendary drum sets. Unfortunately, they missed a few beats on this one. Though the shell construction is sturdy the tonal qualities are bland and boring. This Junior comes with a snare, two mounted toms, floor tom w/ legs, bass,bass pedal , throne, hi-hat, crash/ride, hi-hat stand, snare stand, two mounted tom holders that slide into the bass and throne. The Junior ships with poor drum heads and no instructions on how to put the drum set together.

Rollin’ Connolly’s Pub With Hell’s Kitchen Rocker

Connolly’s Pub and Restaurant, located at 121 W. 45th street in mid town, was the host for the launch of Not Fade Away Records’ third album “The Cost” by the Tim Young Band.

The party was a terrific celebration of over a year’s hard work. Recording began on the album during March of 2007. Tim had located the independent production team of Counter Clockwise Music through an association with Mike Stephens who hosts a podcast in Wayne, MI. Producer Mark Meisel heard the track ‘Renegade’ on Mike’s podcast and became interested in contacting Tim.

Tim Young – “The Cost”
http://musicdish.net/mp3/Tim_Young_Band-The_Cost.mp3

That’s how the story begins. The rest, as they say, is history. The collaboration between Tim Young Band; Tim Young, rhythm guitar and lead vocals; and Sand Edwards, drums; and all involved from Counter Clockwise has been, in my humble opinion, a smashing success.

Since such strong bonds had been created during the week when basic tracks were recorded, not to say anything about the months of mixing through via emails, it only seemed damn appropriate that the entire Detroit team be on hand for the release party. Let’s say I was more than pleased when after I made the suggestion to Mark Meisel and Bob Becker that they get themselves to New York City for this party, they enthusiastically approved.

To make things even more complete, two other players who made such important contributions to ‘The Cost’ were also able to attend. Dave Leeds, who plays bass on all the tracks, as well as Bob’s brother, Rick Becker, who added the amazing electric guitar parts to the remake of ‘Renegade.’ Mark Meisel also tore the place up with his electric guitar. Mark added electric guitar to all the other tracks on the album in addition to all the keyboard parts.

It was the celebratory mood and the rejoining of old friends that helped to lift the party into the higher vibe at Connolly’s. The Klub Room is the party room and the good times are as easily spilled there as a pint of beer. Many old and new fans of the band were in attendance. Over one hundred in all. The constant gigging among the bars of Hell’s Kitchen’s ninth avenue have turned out to be so very valuable.

Aiding to the sounds of the party was Tim’s son, Adam, who brought along his laptop packed with great rock n roll to fill in the gaps when the band was not performing. Adam was also involved in one of the highlights of the show during a jam of Tim’s song ‘New Orleans’ at the very end of the performance when he and engineer Bob Becker popped up on stage to help sing the chorus.

That’s what was so appealing about the mood of the evening. An extended family brought back together for a reunion and I think everybody could feel those connections. Marks’ wife, Billie Meisel, also helped keep things flowing smoothly by seeing that everyone that came into the room received their copy of ‘The Cost’ for their five dollar contribution.

The music and enthusiasm would not be contained once the Klub Room had to dim the lights so an impromptu after party materialized at The famous bastion of dive bars, Rudy’s, over on ninth avenue and 44th street. The band and the entire Detroit contingent swooped into Rudy’s where, Danny, the most cordial manager, immediately tossed ‘The Cost’ CD on the player and everyone drank toasts aplenty. A fitting night cap to an evening replete with great friends and rock n roll.
