For Sale: A Roland TD-1K electric V-Drums drum kit, gently used (and by 'gently,' I mean it was played for a weeks before my child discovered that 'rock star' also involves practicing). This kit is perfect for your budding musician who wants to make some noise without actually making noise—you can plug in headphones and enjoy the sweet, sweet sound of silence. All the cool features are here, including a variety of drum sounds and a metronome to keep time, which, ironically, my kid never did. Comes with a Gretsch stool and sticks that still looks brand new. Your kid will love it, and you'll love that it takes up less space than a full acoustic kit. Just be prepared for it to become a very expensive clothes rack in a few months. Willing to let go for £200.

I love your advert!!!!

Dont give up!! My daughter gave up a number of things and then discovered the guitar and had much fun with her band for a long time.

She also trained as a classical singer and has the most beautiful voice. I always remember her giving up the cello precisely one month after we stopped renting an instrument and finally bought one . I got quite rattled when she then announced she wanted to play the harp-I was nor prepared to gamble with the family finances to such a degree!! 

I think that giving your child musical opportunities is a wonderful thing and can applaud  your efforts.

 

P.S. Sadly I do already have a drum kit (Pearl) in the garage. When my daughter gave up the cello we donated the instrument to her school since we wanted to give another child an opportunity to discover music.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068. 
    • Colin.    One for the old school.   Just saying.
