What do these words mean to you? Cannon Ka-boom, DeRosa Bridgecraft DRM312, Percussion Plus SD1, Union DY-UT3-LT and Union DY-UT3 and so on. They better not be Greek and Latin to you if you are on the look out for a pink drum set for your kid, as these are the codes of different drums sets for children between 3 and 6 years of age. Much like buying pink acoustic guitars, buying pink drum set also requires some amount of basic knowledge about kids’ drum sets in general and things to consider before you finally reach out for your wallet.

Here are some basic points to consider:

• If you are in doubt whether 3-piece or a 5-piece drum set is suitable for your child, it all depends on the kind of budget you have. However a drum tutor usually prefers a 5-piece set. The price of a 3 piece set ranges between $89.95 and $129.95 for 3 piece drum sets and $159.95 to $279.95 for 5 piece drum sets. These prices usually vary and it is best to check the current prices in the company’s website.
• In case more than one child is going to use the drum set, it is better to go for a 5-piece set. A 5-piece set occupies more floor space than a 3-piece set, but some brands are designed in such a way that they are extremely compact and do not require huge space for placement.
• One of the first things to consider before you buy a pink drum set for your kind is his or her age.
• If your child is between 4 and 5 years of age and you think that he or she might use it for a few years you need to go for those models which can be accommodated according to the growing age of the child. For example, if the child is 6 to 7 years of age, you need to go for drum sets meant for 3 to 11 years of age.
• Like pink acoustic guitars, drums sets for children are not just toys. They are fully functional musical instruments that are durable and are equipped with tunable and replaceable heads.
• Drum sets for kids are usually adjustable according to the growing height of the child. 
• Reputed brands of kids’ drum sets are covered by full 1-year warranty against defects in components as well as craftsmanship.
• Assembly instructions are usually included in the drum set pack.
