Are these sticks an appropriate size for a 7-8 year old beginning drummer. Or is there a child's size that would be better?

These are a great fit for that age although they could be a bit large. They can also be a challenge because of their weightlessness, giving way to the possibility of the sticks breaking easily. However I highly recommend these sticks! They are a good fit!

Hey Margaret, that's a great question. Depending on the size of your child this size may or may not work. Vic Firth does make a child size set that is smaller. I've always used this size since I was in 5th grade so this is really all I know. Maybe try to go to a local music shop to see if they have smaller sizes and and test it out. If there isn't one nearby, these sticks are fairly cheap so won't be a huge lose to have a set of each. Hope this helps....Nate

Yes, they are really great drums! My son absolutely love them! And every other child that likes noise go straight to the drum set!

Mitra - we recently purchased this drum set for our 5 yr old son and they fit him perfectly. I would think that they'd likely be too small for a 9 yr old. You might want to check with a local guitar center and ask about the Jr. Drum sets by Ludwig or PDP. Always good to check before ordering something online.

My grandson has used a variety of 'drum sticks' including wooden spoons and plastic drum sticks from the Fisher Price drum. He also uses his hands. I'm sure regular drum sticks would be A-OK.

yes, these are nice drums for kids you can play them either way. the heads on the drums are really good. i'm a musician and i looked them over before i purchased them and i said for the money this is the best drum for a child you can buy.

This is a starter bow and sized for kids 7 to perhaps 14. A stature such as yours, would merit a bigger and bow with more resistance. Sorry, i don't know enough to make suggestions.

They're at school right now--maybe 18"? 24"? They're a great size for younger children (K) as well as older children to use as a movement prop with varying styles of music. The fabric has a little more "hand" than I was anticipating, but ultimately that will probably make them last longer. It's nice to have different colors, too.

My son is 8 but I believe they will be perfect for your son. You can see there's a lot of flexibility in the size of the headphones to accommodate many ages. We love these headphones.

I have the small size and it works just fine. As for the 7 year old, I would suggest easing into it and seeing if the interest is sincere, if so, then advance. You are wise starting with a practice pad. I started with a set of sticks. After first trying piano and guitar, I found that drums were my instrument.

I think that they may be too big for that age. I have found that most of that style of earphones are too big for a child.

I bought it for my 4 year old and it was perfect. I can see 3 year old at the minimum. At 1, my son started off making his own drums set out of whatever was around (pots, water jugs, etc...) and used chopsticks for drums sticks. I say go that route first ;)

It's a little fragile/tippy, and kind of small for a child who may not be too coordinated. The sticks are the size of pencils. It might get broken pretty quickly. You'd probably be better off with a toy drum or rhythm band set or bongos.

My grand-kids are 3-8, however their parents also played with the drum set. My only suggestion is to buy a timer prior, so you won't have any issues with sharing

Hello, Lori, it all depends on her height and love for drumming. If she is serious, I think you want to invest in a set perhaps cost a bit more. She may not want a beginner set. This set is really good but I do plan on getting my son some of the "v drums" perhaps around your daughter age if his passion for playing increases. I hope this helps.

They fit a standard sized set so they should fit but they might be a little big on the smaller drums. I have 22, 16, 14, 13 and 12" drums and they fit fine.

Yes.this is a perfect size for him and he would even have some room to grow. This is a great set of drums for the price!

I think they would be durable, but I'm not a drummer and I bought these for my 3 year old.
