Recommended Electronic Drums for Children by Age Group!

Have you ever thought about buying electronic drums for your child who is interested in drumming, but are unsure of what to buy due to the wide variety?
In this issue, I will introduce recommended electronic drums for different age groups of children to answer such concerns!

Children under Elementary School Age

Although there are electronic drum models that can be set up for children of a smaller stature, some difficulties such as some children not being able to reach the drums with their feet may arise.
In the case of small children, it would be better to choose an instrument that encourages an interest in music through sound play rather than just learning how to play the drums.
PLAYTECH / PRD100 can be placed on a desk or the floor, so children can enjoy playing with it wherever.
Also, even though it is small, it makes strong drum sounds.

Children passed early elementary school age

For children in elementary school, this is the best time to introduce electronic drums since it's a good time to switch from playing sounds to start playing drums.
However, there are cases in which after buying a drum pad that is too large for them to be able to play on properly. A more fitting option for their first electronic drum is a model that can be set in at a lower position according to their height.
All of the electronic drums introduced in this section are recommended for children because the setting can be adjusted according to your child's growth!

Older elementary school children and junior high school age are experiencing a growth period and usually have more concentration, so it is recommended to consider entry level to middle end electronic drums according to their growth and skills.
ROLAND / TD07KV and YAMAHA / DTX6 series are recommended for children who want to start playing drums and for those who are looking for a model with high functionality at a reasonable price.

Children above junior high and high school

Older children in junior high school and high school are likely to play drums more often in various situations such as practicing at home, with a band in a music club or recording .
In particular, when playing in a band, the sense of playing acoustic drums is very different from that of electronic drums. When trying to come as close as possible to acoustic drums, the difference in sensation between regular practice and band practice will be smaller, and this will lead to a better performance.
Also, you may want to consider high-grade class electronic drums with high-precision sensors, depending on your budget, as they can be used in situations in which to create original drum tracks using your electronic drums at home.

How was it? This time I introduced electronic drums by age group, but none of the products are meant to be used by just one specific age group. Depending on your child's growth and motivation, you may consider a slightly higher grade product, or feel free to stay with the entry-level drums for a long time.
I hope this article will be helpful to you.
