Well he’s nearly 7 if that makes a difference Grin
Just wondering if they are an Ok instrument to start with? And if so what age is reasonable?
He finds school very easy so needs some extra challenges I think. He’s asked to learn (possibly just to drown out the sound of his sister practising tap dancing Grin)

Would this be a sensible age? Or should I tell him to hang on a year or so? Would he need a set to practise on?

Sorry I meant I did make him sell them

Oh God no, don't do it. Dp came home with an entire set of drums for the dcs, what a racket! I mean seriously you could hear them 3 streets away. I even put them in the loft room, no improvement. Not made him sell them.
