"This is an excellent DVD to get your youngster (6-10 years old...mine is starting at 5) started on the drums. Do not go out and purchase an expensive drum set. Buy some sticks and a practice pad. The "Zuchini Brothers" have engaging and outgoing personalities that kids love. The lessos start very basic, and are best done with short segments, practice inbetween, and lots of rewards (kids love stickers). Keep a notebook with lots of praise. When your child completes the lessons, and has a real love for drums, it may be time to purchase that first piece, or junior set. Lots of silly faces, expressions, and laughter, all while a 3 piece talented band plays catchy tunes that kids love. "You are what you eat" and other such songs keep your child's interest. A great job done by the producers."
Can't stomach this vid!

"Get to the point, already! This guy just talks and talks, taking forever to get the actual lessons. My son does not have the patience to watch this video, and he really gets into watching bands play. He absolutely loves the drums, but this is not at all holding his interest. Though he's young, I think he'd prefer to watch a drumming video that's targeted to adults."
Great DVD for kids

"I bought this for my nephew's 3rd birthday and he has watched it about 100 times. Unfortunately he's too young for private instruction, but he has always been obsessed with drums, and he's got great timing so far!"
Boring for a 4 1/2 year old

"My son is 4 1/2 and couldn't sit through this video. My son is obsessed with drumming and really wants to learn to play - but there is nothing engaging about this video."
Drumming for kids... Not just for Kids!

"Excellent video... It takes you step by step from the very beginning... They even teach you how to manage and take the sticks... It was made for kids... but everyone can start from there..."
