Is this for parents who wanna buy a cheep drumset for thair kid to learn on? NO. This is for the perent that wants to see if thair kid is interested and if not they don't wanna buy expensive gear and will keep it as a accompaniment to thair main instrument later. I used it ona a low Bb tuning on the kick (mainly by ear). And it provides a loud and good sound for it's size, but it has it limitations. The parts are not sturdy, it loosens on the keys/lugs if the kids play or lean on to it. The snair can't be fitted strong enough, keeps on getting out of the stand.
