I have this concern, i live in a pent-house apartment, and my 13 year old kid owns a pretty good mesh head electronic drumset, but he's going serious with drumming and I can notice (even though i do not play the drums or any instrument) that -even with the tons of sounds it has- it is limited in very ways (he has sometimes told me and I also notice) for example (as you said) it doesn't feel the same, it is not as expressive as an acoustic (he has told me something about bows and bells and the place where you hit the drum or cymbal), and also you can´t just keep adding drums or cymbals to it over and over the time so the kit grows little by little because it has a limited amound of ports so that you can connect an electronic drum or cymbal. But in the apartment we do not have any extra rooms... So please help me, are there ways to have an acoustic kit and not to bother? Thank you! Hello, great article.

I work for a pre-school agency. also a drummer going on my 10th year of playing the instrument. with this said, i suggest drums are a little attention getter at for a kid that age, and they are also fun. it shows them how to multi-task, cross their "inner-center". Piano does the same, since they also use foot work, but children to loose their attentiion span. This might answer your question.

It answers my confusing about acoustic and digital drum set. However I have another concern: my son is soon to be 3-year-old, and I hear 3-year-old is the great age to start learning music. Some people say piano is the best way to start learning music, while some say drum is. Their arguments, piano enhances the recognition to distinguish notes while drum enhances coordination of body movement. I wonder what's your thought in this? Which one is the wise to introduce music to my son? His type is auditory and kinestetic. Hi Kevin,

Great article! It answers my confusing about acoustic and digital drum set.

However I have another concern: my son is soon to be 3-year-old, and I hear 3-year-old is the great age to start learning music. Some people say piano is the best way to start learning music, while some say drum is.
