    I have real drums, electronic drums, and drum machines, so I don't need this, but this is steal. Sure, it's a cheap stencil kit, but show your kids some love and let 'em make some noise. Either they destroy it in six months and you can get them something that will last, or it'll gather dust and you won't be out much money.

    I've been tempted to buy them all and sell them for twice as much on Craigslist.

    My seven year old kid wants to learn to play drums. Should he start with "real drums" or would it be all right to start with electronic drums?

    So I pulled the trigger on this when it was $135. I thought there was no way it could get cheaper. No big deal because it's still a steal. They look fantastic, sound good enough, and I'm not worried about my kids destroying an $800 drum set. We've been playing along with Rock Band and we're having a blast for a hundred dollar bill.

    e-drums. expensive-er, need amplification, not nearly as satisfying.

    #2, I'm not sure there's a right answer, but I'll add to the "real" drums vote. Cheap electronic sets are frustrating beyond belief and to really learn how to play, you need to get the fundamentals down, which you can't really do with an electronic set.

    My five year old loves banging on my real Ludwig set and long ago got bored with my Yamaha electronic set, so he'd say go real.

    Thanks. Guess I'll be needing some hearing protection.

    There is the other aspect of electronic drums... a volume knob and the potential to have the user wear headphones.
