Discount Hohner Kids Hand Drum Musical Toy

Customer Ratings:

We're so happy with this drum for my almost-two-year-old. It's a real musical instrument -you can make lots of different sounds with it, and it's so inviting. It's also incredibly strong. It has been thrown, stood upon, etc. etc. etc. and is still in perfect shape. I love that my son can hold and strike this at just about any angle and still get a satisfying sound. It's a winner, and a great value.

UPDATE: 1/5/12: Not long after I wrote this review, my son did indeed manage to damage the drum. The drumming surface now has a small dent, and it's not a great toy anymore -a step below drumming on an oatmeal canister from the grocery store. We should have supervised our young son more closely with it, or waited until he was older. I just wanted to update my review and let you all know that this thing is not, in fact, indestructible. :o)

As I have been building a personal Rhythm Band collection for my 14 month old granddaughter, it has been very important to me that I select appropriate size instruments and good quality instruments. I do not want to give her toys to play with for this experience. The Hohner Kids Hand Drum and Mallet are a good selection for my goal. The size is perfect for my granddaughter at her age. She can easily hold the drum in one hand and hold the mallet in the other hand. The mallet is a little bit thin for my granddaughter's age, but will be acceptable for school age children. We often use our fingers to tap the drum, or the heel of our hand. Experimenting for different sounds is a great thing to do, as well.

The multiple colors of the drums are a nice feature, but the purchaser is not able to select or determine which color he/she will receive. I ordered two drums and received the same color for both. It would have been nice to have been able to request the color I preferred. Over all, this is a good beginning hand drum for young children.

Best Deals for Hohner Kids Hand Drum Musical Toy

I'm a musician myself, and have a toddler who simply LOVES making noise when I'm playing. Unfortunately, she typically wants to make the best noise, which usually involves one of my instruments. Many of mine are either fragile or too dangerous for her to play with, so they're right out. So I bought this, because it was supposed to have a decent sound, good for kids, and it was really affordable.

I'm honestly surprised with the sound, for one. Sure, it's got a plastic head on it, but it's got a much better tone to it (it's actually got some tension to it) than any other plastic-headed toy drum I've ever seen. It's lightweight, it's easy for a small child to hold since the frame is nice and rounded on the inside, and it's got that nifty little way of storing the stick. All in all, it was a great buy. My daughter loves it, thus I love it. I think the stick is a bit on the thin side, so it'll probably break eventually. Thus, I'll probably replace it with one of my bodhran tippers.

So yes, if you've got a small child that loves playing with drums, this is a great portable little drum.

Honest reviews on Hohner Kids Hand Drum Musical Toy

For my child it was ok. Bought it when he was about a year old.

The sound is not great unless you hold it up and hit it, which my son never could figure out.

His favorite thing was to drop it on the hard floor and listen to it crash and wobble.

Not exactly sure what happened but he broke it somehow. The drum part you hit was just plastic but it came loose and he

Stopped playing with it so we tossed it out. Was good for about 8 months. Was ok, glad it wasn't expensive.

bought it for my 15mo old daughter. She loves the toy, runs around banging the drum. It's reasonably loud, well built and makes a racket but a good toy nonetheless.
