Oh, I've definitely had a bit of experience with the Paper Jamz drum set! I bought one for my nephew last year, and it's been quite a hit. In terms of teaching kids about music, it’s pretty basic but super fun for introducing rhythm and coordination. From what I’ve seen, it seems most suitable for kids in the age range of 5 to 8 years old. The controls are straightforward enough for them to experiment on their own after showing them a few times.
Regarding durability, it's held up surprisingly well considering how much it’s been bashed and beaten by excited tiny hands! Just make sure to keep an eye on the structural integrity now and then as with any toy that gets this kind of workout. Overall, it's a great introductory tool to get kids interested in music without too much upfront investment. Plus, it's neat watching them feel like rock stars banging away on their drums!
