We go for real. We'll put it in my music room where 8 guitars and 2 keys are already stored. And soon a drum kit, now we miss the bass. Do we? ;-)

A Fender Precision Bass would do the perfect picture then  :D

I do think that as your child is learning. he needs something he could kick again and again before he learn how to do the tricks, then it

We were at www.musicstore.de in Cologne last weekend which is the biggest music store in Europe. They have lots of drums on display, hard to pick one...and fun to try. Guy pointed me to Yamaha, so we think of a Yamaha junior drums kit. It sounds great and can 'grow' with him.
I couldn't resist to have a look at the guitars section. There is one I like to have. Why is it always a Martin? :P

Because any good acoustic guitar is a good acoustic guitar, but a Martin is a MARTIN  :D

Thanks BPDNEDCID for your great advice and very cool drum kit, indeed!
Thommy will get ear protection, they're on our list.
Btw, Phil Collins and 'In the air tonight' is my son's fav video at the moment. He saw the song on 'EC and friends' in B'ham 1986 which is in my EC collection. Now it is running all day... ::)

What do you think about the budget? The Yamaha Manu Katch

marky49, PM your mailing address (if you like) and I can send you literally dozens of better versions of that song, both on CD and DVD.  (Bootlegs, of course, nothing commercially available.)  I say better versions because during that NEC show (I have the DVD as well) Phil gives an extremely poor performance of the song.  I honestly think he was stoned or drunk at the time, although Phil has always been one of those guys that never seemed to get mixed up in drugs.

As for the Tama set you posted, why the frown face?  I think that kit looks good.  Depends on the size though.  Perhaps too big for a three year old?  But that is the joy of having little ones: They can always grow into things!

Peace.

The frown face stands for undecided, that's what we are at the moment. You know, he is only 3 but quite tall already. Don't know if it is right for his age?
Have sent you a PM.

Cheers,

Got your PM.  Did you want some PC boots then?  If so, I'll need your mailing address...

Peace.

I think you can adjust every piece for the correct high, but not sure about the bass which has the two tombs, probably the tombs could be adjusted too, but not sure.

You better go to a real shop and do some tests, I

We now have a drum kit (kid)  ;) in our house. For his 3rd birthday he got this drum kit and he loves it

For interested parents, our son goes to musical classes at Gymboree http://www.gymboree-uk.com/franchisee.php?id=14 in Hampstead/London. Great fun for the kids, can recommend it.
