This drum has great sound for a junior version and looks just like a full size drum set. I bought it for my 5 year old grandson and he loves it. It's a little bit tricky to keep it assembled tightly, but if you are familiar with drums it will probably be easy for you to set up and keep set up. I think it will work for him for another year or so depending on how fast he grows and how hard he uses it. I will definitely keep it for the next one. Highly recommend it for your musical child.
