great kit, very well made, sounds very good except the Cymbals and high hat but they are good enough to learn on. the wine red is much better looking in person, it is a small metal flake finish that shows as more of just a metallic finish in the pics. also it is easy and kind of fun to assembly if you do get hung up ludwig's web site has great instructional videos showing the assembly process for each component. even the drumsticks in this kit are good quality. i was also impressed that ludwig included some extra hardware just in case you lose or break something down the road. this kit includes everything but the drummer.

"Almost Perfect - Cymbals?? Ehhh"

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I got this for my son's third birthday. Perfect fit! Just like a grownup kit only miniature. Made in China but what do you expect at this price? Comes with sticks, cymbals, stands, heads and a throne. Ready to go. No instructions, so if you don't know how to assemble a kit, you might be confused. If you're a drummer, it's assembles like a full-sized kit. I got blue and the finish is beautiful! My only complaint is that the cymbals are flimsy and weak. The crash was slightly bent out of the box. I straightened it by hand.

"Great for kids!"

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Sound
I got this kit for my 3 year old last Christmas. He loves his drumset. The cymbals are awful, the HH is ok, and the bass pedal is junk, BUT that's hardware that can easily be replaced. These are REAL drums, not toys. Our drummer even rigged this kit up next to his usual kis and played them both at rehearsal. It sounded quite comparable to his performing kit. Like was mentioned before, the heads are replaceable and that is important with a kids' kit. All in all, this is great for a young kid who wants to play with the big boys!
Features
The cymbals are awful and the bass pedal is junk, but I was honestly more concerned with the drums themselves.
Ease of Use
It's a drum kit...what else can you say?
Quality
The hardware could be better built, but the drums themselves are great. Wood construction, replaceable heads, good tone, well built kit despite the hardware.
Value
It's a great product if you want to get a kid lined up in music. I think it is worth the investment.
Manufacturer Support

I bought this drum set for my then 5 yr old for Christmas last year and was surprised with the quality when we took it out of the box. I am an advent review reader, I will not purchase an item if it does not have good reviews. I went to other sites and found great reviews on this brand. I am so glad that we did not buy a cheaper product. My husband has taken the drum set apart twice and hasn't had any problems putting it back together. My son loves the set and we will have it for a long time

Bought this set for my 8yr old daughter. Price was the biggest issue in the purchase. I really like the whole set except for the crash. It is very thin and has bent. Anyone looking for a starter set for a kid this set is really an awesome set just plan on upgrading the cymbal. Another issue for anyone who doesn't know much should find a drummer to tune in all the heads on the drums. Also maybe they should upgrade the stool for the parents that wanna rock-out while their kids are at school!!!!!! Really nice set for any beginner.

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
Very pleased with this purchase. WIll continue to use zZounds for my musical needs.
Sound
I got this set as a starter kit for my 10 year old daughter. Sound is good, but I don't have the drum experience to get them tuned up perfect. Cymbals are what you would expect from a junior kit, but the drums sound fine for this level
Features
Adjustments of the ride toms is somewhat limited, but was able to get them where she needed them. High hats don't seem to line up perfect, but still sound good.
Ease of Use
Easy to set up without instructions. A little bit of drum knowledge helps, but easy either way.
Quality
Glad I didn't get her a set from a department or toy store. Ludwig is a good name in drums, and although these are a junior set, they are well made and should last her long enough to get good and earn a full size set.
Value
Cost about what a toy set would have cost , so I was pleased to spend the money on this set.
Manufacturer Support
Had issues with my CC on this purchase, but one phone call solved that issue. Got right through and was helped quickly. Top notch support!!
The Wow Factor
Blue is her favorite color.

I ordered this set for my three year old son who asked for a drum set from Santa. I put them together based on an online PDF I found and they went together very easily. I think it took about an hour to do. They look really nice and all of the drums sound great. The symbols aren't awesome, but they are good for beginners. They can be replaced as time goes on. Overall, I am extremely happy with the product and, more importantly, so is my son:)

I bought this for my son for his birthday, and when i finished putting it together and played it , IT IS AMAZING QUALITY Worth every bit. you might want to replace the hi hat and symbal (if your really into drumming)because really thats the only fault on the product but its for toddlers but the quality is so amazing you can actually use it if u adjust right. But anyway IT IS WORTH IT

We ordered the Ludwig Junior Set for our two year old grand son. His dad plays drums and he has a talent for drums even at an early age. We gave him the beautiful set for his birthday and in 10 minutes was doing several combination he learned from his dad. He knew what to do and now he will learn what to do...he was totally into everything. The experience and coaching from zZounds staff was great. The quality of the set is very high end. What a nice surprise I thought it was going to be cheap. He will use this for a long time...look out Charlie Watts!

"The little Drums that could.......not quite make it."

Overall: 1.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Started lookin Tuesday.
Sound
I've owned and played many different drum kits over the past 30 years or so, mostly Ludwig, so I am familiar with sound characteristics and the quality of materials and workmanship it takes to produce great sounding drums that will last and not so great sounding ones that won't. As far as this little kit goes, I believe the tags ON the drums say it all, "Made in China" ,and this little kit doesnt begin to measure up to any kind of "quality" standard Ive ever known of. I bought this kit somewhere else for my 2 yr old nephew for $269 NEW with throne, sticks & a couple of extras so as long as he's happy and they serve his purpose I'm happy but frankly, the lightning Mcqueen "toy" kit I got from Toys R Us sound s better. Ever tuned 4 lug toms?...c'mon, man... why not 3? Glad I,ve still got some of my OLD Ludwigs so I can teach my nephew the difference. If nothing else, at least you can see a clear image of yourself in the chrome on my ludwig rims and stands vs the hazy reflection in these cheapies that don't fit well at all. Think Jason Bonham ever had these as a boy?........ Doubt it.
Features
Best thing was the color. I got the wine color and they ARE pretty. From there I'm still searchin for the "good" features. Let's see.. warped rims that fit as loose as Bruce Banners pants after a Hulk episode? A foot pedal that strikes the tightening mechanism before the drum head. Click, click, click instead of thump, thump, thump. Oh yeah, the symbols! that's right, symbols, not cymbals. Therein lyes the difference in QUALITY products and savvy M A R K E T I N G....... Good job guys.

"worst customer service ever - will NEVER shop zZounds again"

Overall: 3.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I ordered for my son, (Jaden is an autistic musical savant) the Ludwig Jr. Kit - it was offered at a discount bc it was "dimpled". When it arrived in 500 pieces I was surprised but I guess I should have known that even the drums themselves would have to be assembled? When we got to the last drum we saw that the piece that holds the stand on was completely broken off - and I photographed it certain that they would surely replace the piece for me. No - it turns out I have to break down and send the entire kit back to be shipped a new one and completely reassemble it for that one piece. The piece could easily be replaced with just the removal of one head on that one drum I don't have the time or energy to do all that returning the whole kit would require, so I guess I will have to test the limits of duct tape. Very unsatisfied customer. The actual product is great - or would be - if it were completely functional
