My dear son is going to be nine years old this weekend! NINE whole years old! I can hardly believe it! If you ever met him, you know that he is just full of music. He dances to the beat of his own drum, literally. I have never seen a person dance as they walk like he does. He just has music all inside of him.
He writes his own songs, beatboxes, and loves to make up his own beats. That’s why I find it so important to keep him interested in learning musical instruments. His favorite, by far, has to be the drums. He will look at the Yamaha Stage Custom w/ Free 6-Pack Vic Firth 5A Sticks! ($87 MSRP) and DROOL over it for hours. We go to the musical instrument store, and he HAS to try out every drum set there. His favorites always seem to be the kind that offer the most room for growth. This particular set is right up his alley. 
I am sure he would sit there for hours just making the beats in his handsome head come alive.
It is all in his blood, though. His father is a drummer at heart. I was born to a musician and a singer. It’s no wonder that when he walks down the street, you can watch the music come alive in his every step. Buying this set for him would be a dream come true. We would have to live somewhere where the noise wouldn’t bother the neighbors, but it is not out of the realm of possibility. These drums would last him a long time. I am sure that he would probably beat them till they fell apart, which would definitely take a while HAHA. He would still keep them for sentimental reasons, because they would be the first drums he ever had and his parents would have been the ones to give them to him.
