Amazon.com Product Description
Make your youngster's learning experience more upbeat with the LeapFrog Learn and Groove Alphabet Drum alphabet drum. Each tap of this drum introduces baby to the alphabet and improves vocabulary in both English and Spanish. Engaging music and interactive play sharpen motor skills as baby learns to tap, crawl, and dance. It features three delightful learning modes, including Alphabet, Dance Along, and Music Play. Babies quickly catch on to cause and effect, as each tap rewards them with lights, letters, and music. Music Play mode lets the child freely explore music, fostering open-ended play and creative movement. And this drum's lively, roll-along song teaches them to crawl after the drum. Ideal for children ages six months to three years, this stimulating toy entertains and educates for hours. The Beat Goes On
The Alphabet Drum is built to withstand the throws and whacks from typical toddler handling. Parents will appreciate the volume control as it keeps the music at an enjoyable level. To prolong battery life, the drum shuts off if it hasn't been used for awhile. Plus, at approximately 8 inches tall, it helps babies learn to sit up on their own. Both the English and Spanish voices of the Alphabet Drum are audible and easy to understand. Bright colors, uplifting music, and a fun design make this a favorite in any child's toy box.

It is no surprise that the LeapFrog Alphabet Drum was a winner of the 2006 iParenting Media Greatest Products Award. This drum teaches language, music, and motor skills as a strong foundation for the child's future. Children love to dance, roll it around, or chase after it, and as a versatile toy, it can be played with through multiple development stages. What's in the Box

My recently one year old twin grandsons love this toy. It far exceeded my expectaions. The graphics are great both for the alphabet and the numbers and they enjoy the dancing figure with the music. They love music and really do learn and groove with this interactive toy. The age guidelines on this toy are appropriate and I look forward to them combining the drum with their maracas as they grow and become increasingly creative with these toys.

I got this for my daughter and she loves it. She likes to roll it around on the floor and hit/kick it. She was a little under 6 months old when I got it and was having a little hard time sitting up (no problem crawling though), and after having this toy, she got sitting up down pat within a couple of days. It allowed her to lean on it for support while she played it. Plus, it encouraged her to sit up.
She loves pounding on it with her hands for quite some time. Like one other reviewer said, I do wish that you could hear the drumming that the child actually makes a little better. I wish that there was a mode where it only made a sound when you "drummed" on it, but oh well... can't have everything.
Her daddy loves it too. They spend a lot of time after he gets off work playing with the drum and dancing to the music. They have gotten quite a bit of quality "Daddy-Baby" time in.
It is also nice that it shuts off when it hasn't been moved for quite some time. I am sure this really has saved on some batteries. It has some type of sensor in it that can tell if the drum is on its side or if it is upright. If it is on its side and it rolls a little bit, it kicks on, but that isn't a problem. It helps keep the baby interested in it when she bumps it. Also, if it is on its side, it functions differently in the modes. For example, if it is in the "A-B-C" mode, then when it is on its side, it works more like a normal drum. I guess the thinking is if it is on its side, then the child can't see the lights to learn the ABC and is using it more like a drum tucked underneath their arm. I don't know, but just a guess.
I also love the volume. The soft is pretty soft where you can easily talk over it and it is more like background noise. The loud isn't too loud so I was able to take it to the doctor's office and have her play with it in the exam room without other patients being able to hear it outside of the room.
Overall, I would highly recommend this toy. My daughter (and husband) like playing with it. She loves the sounds, rolling it around, chewing on it, and the lights. Very good buy!
9 month and mommy love it! December 18, 2006

We bought this drum for our baby. She is now nine months old and loves to beat on the walls/doors at home, therefore, we thought she needed a drum. This drum teaches alphabets while you hit it (in English and Spanish). It is not very loud and won't drive you crazy. Christmas has not come yet, but we have already been playing with it, and she absolutely loves it! If you want a toy that your child will play with instead of only playing with the box it came in - this is the one (especially if your child likes to hit things like mine does).
spends more time with this toy, than others combined July 5, 2007

I bought this for my grandson who has been receiving physical therapy. They were using this toy in therapy to help him keep his hand straight and not curl it up. I bought this so he could practice at home and have his own little drum. He loves the music and the beats, and very quickly achieved his goal with the assistance of this toy. He will be 12 months old this month, has two huge toy chests, but this is the most loved and valuable toy of them all. Anytime I have to buy a toy for a baby gift, it will be this little drum. It is well built, very sturdy and not only helps with dexterity but is educational.
My 9 month old LOVES this toy July 3, 2007

I recently bought this for my 9 month old son. He loves it. It is one of his favorite toys. He loves to drum on it while watching the sounds/lights.
I purchased him the leapfrog piano as well. He likes that also - but would choose the drum over it.
