A lot of parents rent a musical instrument to make sure their child is really serious and is going to stick with learning the instrument. However, at times, the rental kit can turn out to be expensive (around $100 per month). These educational kits are much more affordable and great for learning. Its more economical to buy this kit instead of renting, as you get to keep it forever, and you can definitely sell it in the future if kept in good condition.
These percussion Kits include all the essentials for the drummer or percussionist who wants to start learning the fundamentals of music. These all-in-one sets are perfect for the beginning percussionist, especially those who are studying percussion in school. These include components that are easy to assemble.

This percussion kit has everything that my child needed to start out in band. The bag is durable and easy to carry around. Sheet music stand is usable with the bells, but when using the drum there’s no place to put the music, will need to purchase another sheet music stand. You can either use the drum or bells with the stand, would have been nice if both could be used.
The picture and description state a pearl practice pad is included. The practice pad that came with the kit was a cheap generic. The pad also did not have threads in it to screw onto the stand. I had to tap threads into it for it to work.
But not much to complain about, overall am very happy with this percussion set set.
