30 Notes Percussion with Practice Pad Mallets Sticks Stand

This is a great instrument for beginner percussionist. The entire top is easy to switch off with the practice pad for my teen so it's easy for him to practice. I would definitely recommend purchasing this for a beginner teen who is interested in learning about the xylophone.

I purchased this set for my 5th grade son who's starting band for the first time. This set was cheaper to purchase and own than to rent at a music store for the school year. So we decided to go with this option. It's not worth the $. The stand isn't stable. You have to twist the bells onto the stand instead of just placing in onto the stand. Other stands have a secure fit around it so it stays in place. So because of this type of stand that it comes with, it makes it a little wobbly and not sturdy. The sheet music stand that attaches to the bells doesn't fit well at all and I don't know how it even holds sheet music. One of the mallets that came with it broke already. We had to buy our own from a music store. My son's band teacher even told him not to use those because of how cheap they are. It doesn't have enough keys on it for what his band book requires so before you buy any percussion kit, make sure you check with your child's band teacher to see if you need 30 keys or 32 keys. I don't think this set would even survive a whole school year. Spend a little extra to get a better set. We ended up getting a better one at a music store. I am returning this one. Not worth the $ at all!

The case doesn't last at all! Zipper has broken and completely come apart from the seam.

Lightweight and easy to carry. The mallets is plastic and came bent. Will ordered wooden mallets instead. Perfect for beginner band student.

This is absolutely perfect for my 5th grader first time band. He can actually get it all together on his own and he can carry it. He borrowed a set from school until this came and that set was so heavy. Sounds good. Worth the money. And it was delivered a day early.
