    oh my this guy. I think he was expecting them to teach him from scratch. 3 years in business and hasnt even bothered to try to learn how to use Amazon. Perhaps once he learns he could have a small business but I didn't see the attraction myself. I also do not know of many schools that teach drums. A strange one to me and he was rather annoying. I can imagine him ringing his dragon every day and would drive them round the bend.

    He should try selling to private music instructors who can actually afford it and would use it regularly. Schools are not going to pay £70 or over £100. Schools are regularly cutting music programmes due to budget.

    If I had shown that to any one of my teachers over the years they would have laughed at it and told me to control my hands by controlling my hands lol.

      I mean you are absolutely 100%, unequivocally, undeniably and inarguably right, kids do NEEEEEEEEEEEEED something to be able to teach them how to play… and that’s where that part about me saying I was “professionally trained” comes into play lol.
      An old family friend had a kit at his house, and when I was 8-9, I tried playing it for the first time and I guess I showed some promise, so rather than doing nothing because there simply just wasn’t any kind of stupass box with sticks in to prevent my hands from going ALL over the place apparently, they put their brains together and realized that getting me a music teacher would be the best way to go… then I went to school for it.
      It’s almost like people have been becoming drummers for a really really long time without that flipping thing haha 😄

    If it had cost £25 to buy and £11 to make and he had concentrated on selling them online and had turned over £300,000, he would have had Dragons in the palm of his hand. Don't get how you can go and apply and be on these shows without your numbers behind you.

      Because the shows are assembled from pitches made in a single block of the 4 blocks made once he couldn’t be there for a week he had to sit out 3 episodes. During a block all of the Dragons have to wear the same clothes and if they turn up unshaven at the beginning of a block they have to maintain that look for the rest of the block.

    I honestly think this could lead somewhere if the brought the costs down. I could make this product for £10 without it going mass, its a wood block with some shoots coming out of it. You take that to china to manufacture in bulk and you will get it for £6 per product, you then sell it for £30 wholesale and it retails for £70. People would buy it, you get a great profit and so does the retailers. You then go to the education sector and sell it direct for £30 and you have a huge market. I think the idea is fantastic but the execution is poor
