Expert Review: Just Play’s Danny Go! Color Beat Drumsticks

Drum roll, please! These light-up drumsticks from Just Play inspire kids to get up, glow, and groove — just like Danny from the hit YouTube series Danny Go!. Kids can press the buttons on the handles to rotate through six colors and 16 sound effects, then beat the soft foam sticks against any surface to create a unique song. The drumsticks also include three popular jams from the series: “Gorilla Smash,” “Boom Boom Dinosaur,” and “Candy Cane Crush.”

These drumsticks allow preschoolers to interact with their favorite series in a whole new way. Rather than simply watching a screen, kids can now get off the couch and join the fun, singing, dancing, and drumming along to their favorite videos. With so many color and sound combinations, every drum solo is a chance for kids to experiment and express their creativity. The buttons are easy to understand and navigate independently, while the squishy foam tops prevent drumming from damaging your decor.

This toy includes six AAA batteries, three for each drumstick. While the drumsticks time out after 30 seconds of inactivity, kids should still switch them off between jam sessions to conserve battery life.
