Toys and Games Reviews of LeapFrog Learn & Groove Alphabet Drum
Customer Review: Excellent!!
Summary: 5 Stars
When my 6-month old son saw this drum in the store he only wanted to play with it. When we got home and he heard the music he danced for the first time. Believe me, this was one of the happiest moments in my life. Since that day he sees the drum and dances even when it is off!!
Does he really use it as a drum??? Rarely, only when we do and he imitates us. So what does he do with it?? Dance, roll it around and chase it. My son is 8 months now and he loves it still.
As for the English and Spanish in this drum: I have to say that the Spanish part of it is excellent! The voices are of native speakers and the words and alphabet do not sound as when a non-native record them.
This is a good toy that will last him a while, or at least I hope that!
Customer Review: And The Beat Goes On!!
Summary: 4 Stars
The beat goes on and on with this drum. My son received it from his Godfather (a drummer) for Christmas last year when he was just over one years old. He absolutely loved it. It is easy for him to change it to the different modes. I do not think he is getting the full educational benefit from this drum even at two. Regardless it is still a lot of fun for him.
Durable? Boy is it. My son has sat on it, stood on it, and rolled it around the house, and it is still ticking. That being said, he has just as much fun with his Little Tikes Drum that was more inexpensive, and does not require batteries. I think that as he gets older and he understands more about what is happening on the drum, he will enjoy it for more than the music setting.
Customer Review: Don't do it...don't be a sucker
Summary: 2 Stars
This is the worst toy ever. I have never felt so robbed since the idea of a healthy twinkie!
First off and very important...one cannot actually drum on this toy. My kid lost interest quickly.
the music is annoying. Constant. The toy tries to draw you in by talking and talking and talking until you hit it. This seems violent to me ^_^. but when you start to hit if you tilt it at all it will reset and the annoying voice starts all over again. The voice isn't annoying so much as needy.
It is surprisingly durable...but I would really rather a better toy.
I happen to have an earlier model and it is also durable not quite as annoying...I bought this one because it is bilingual but not worth it. Don't be a sucker...walk away
Customer Review: "Drum" is a loose term
Summary: 1 Stars
My son received this toy for his first birthday. We thought it would be a fantastic learning device for cause and effect (banging = sounds). Instead, we discovered what another reviewer did, and that's how inaudible the actual drum sounds are. There is constant background music on each setting that completely drowns out the drum sounds. If I show him how to hit the drum with his hand, he'll do it for a few seconds. But soon, he walks away because he can't distinguish between the soft drum noise and the rest of the music that is playing and doesn't realize he's doing anything at all. It's a little frustrating, but maybe it'll be of more value to us when he's more familiar with the alphabet. Light show, maybe, but definitely not a "drum."Customer Review: Great music, but not much of a drum!
Summary: 3 Stars
I want to start off this review saying that my one year old son loves the music from this drum! He will hit it to get the music going, but then dances around; he does not continue to hit it. If you are looking for a drum, look elsewhere. If you are looking for something to provide musical entertainment, this this might fit the bill.
The cons are that you can barely hear the drum sound when the child hits it during the music mode, and the "high" volume setting is not very high at all.
The pros include: it is very durable, the light display is fun, and the music is lively & catchy.
