I just had to post this Pulse Junior drum kit just for its coolness factor. I wish I would have had something like this when I was a kid. Drum set would be good for the aspiring, young drummer. Possible greatest kid present ever?.. It’s pretty affordable. Hardware and components look decent as well. Should hold up to some abuse that will inevitably come from a youngster. Need a gift idea? This is it.
