My son is 8 (almost 9) and has been taking lessons for about 8 months. I posted at the time about whether that was too young, etc., but it seems to be going well. Here's a vid I took of his recent song assignment (this was the first song his teacher gave him to work on..he worked on it about a week).

Anyways, he just broke his bass drum pedal...the metal fatigued and broke. He has now broken the high hit stand, high hat cymbals, and the bass drum pedal. I want something that won't break. Adjustability, while nice, isn't too important cause he's not really going to know what he likes/dislikes at this point. I was thinking the Pearl 900 onsale right now at MF, but I'm open to suggestions. I really don't want to have to replace this for a couple years.
Thanks for the help.
Mike
