What a great & couragous Mommy you are!
Do you have anyone who could teach him something to play on them... that way when he is playing, it at least will sound good, as opposed to just banging? My nephew had a neighborhood highschooler teach him some stuff that was simple yet sounded awesome and it gave him SO much confidence!
However, when my sister asked if we wanted his old set of drums, I quickly declined (in my defence DS is only 4 and sensitive to loud sounds).
Sounds like for you and your DS it could be a great idea.
Good Luck!

Thanks Jennifer for your compliments!

Thanks for sharing that article LR.
Does he want drums? What was missing in your post is if he has an interest in them.
One thing I have noticed with my aspies is NO MATTER how much of a good idea I think it is, if they aren't interested it is a waste of time and money.
Music is a FABULOUS way to go for kids but let him choose which instrument if he has an instrument. If not perhaps you can try music therapy or something similar to give him some exposure to see what he may like. Awe heck, before you invest in drums he may not use, go for guitar hero. lol. That rates on the cool factor for sure!
Mike is definitely into music. It took a while and some coaxing but he has now taught himself guitar. It comes and goes as an obsession but he likes it and isn't bad for an 11 yo self taught autie. But Music has always been something he was attracted too and he wanted to learn guitar. Cait took up clarinet last year in school and it has been great for her. We also have a keyboard for her, etc. Music is very big to DH and I and it is very theraputic but make sure that you are choosing what will work for your son and what he wants. Otherwise it is a loud, expensive investment with no return.

Hi Renee,
That's a great question.
Oh have a I got a good one about drums..
Before the holidays, I had taken my 6 year old,Jeremy,NT, to the store to get ideas for Hannukkah presents for him. Jeremy managed to zoom in the only kid sized drum set in a box at Target. He looked at the box knew what they were and said straight out"I
