Toys and Games Reviews of International Playthings Flash Beat Drum
Customer Review: Was a Two Star Review, Now It's Four Stars
Summary: 4 Stars
UPDATE: Originally, I gave this toy only two stars as my son had a rather lukewarm reception to it. However, after a couple of days, he started to push it around and enjoyed the music as it rolled.
He also started to bang the drum quite boisterously, which is what is needed in order for the drum to light up and make a sound. Now, he really likes it and this is one of his "go-to" toys in his room.
Original review below:
After reading the glowing reviews, I was eagerly anticipating the arrival of this toy since my baby LOVES to drum things. He bangs like a bongo player on everything. Unfortunately, everything, but this toy.
There is a very tiny delay from when you hit the drum to when it lights up and makes a sound. While the delay is infinitely tiny, it is enough that it doesn't feel like the sound is 100% related to the banging.
Factor in that the toy makes noise when it falls over and rolls and plays music constantly, it doesn't give enough feedback to connect the banging with the sound. You also have to hit the top very hard in order to hear a sound, so sometimes my son would bang the surface and nothing would happen. He does like to scratch the top with his fingernails and finds that sound much more satisfying.
