Air Drumstick Set

[shivvy]

I am thinking of buying someone an air drumstick set as a gift.  It isn't for someone who is an established drummer so it doesnt need to be professional in any way, but I also don't want it to be a childish toy.

I am thinking of a £50-70 price range?

Can anyone who knows anything about them recommend one or two for me please?

Thanks.

Please!  Need some advice!

Or should I put the question into another category maybe?

I spent some time trying to research a meaningful answer for you last night but I was largely thwarted by the lack of product reviews on Amazon, eBay, etc.  (Many of the products offered had just one review which might, ofcourse, have come from the vendor).

One thing I did notice though was that the vast majority of such products advertised on Amazon have long delivery times (suggesting that they're being sent from China, rather than from the UK).  Many aren't expected to be delivered until towards the end of the month or even into January.  So you might need to bear that in mind if you're buying a Christmas present.

Your post did make me consider buying air drumsticks as a Christmas gift for my 14yo grandson though.  After nearly an hour of web browsing, this was what I ended up bookmarking as a possibility (based upon the product description, the price, the stated delivery time and the vendor's 99% positive rating):

Yes Buenchico - those were the same issues that I was coming across ie the delivery time etc but most importantly a lack of reviews.  Thanks for the link - I will have a look at that👍

I really thought that others might have advice to offer.  Do you think the question would be better suited in a different category?

^^^ I suspect that the vast majority of people here have never even heard of air drumsticks.  (I admit that I hadn't until I read your post last night!).

So, sadly, I doubt that posting anywhere else on the site is going to help much!

Perhaps posting on  dedicated drumming forum might help?
