Oh, "giant old man" is hilarious.

I do think drums are the instrument that most young children would be drawn to, because they aren't worried about finding the 8 beat. They just see it as making noise in a pattern, but what to them is not a set patter. Therefore, on the surface, it looks like something they could master without technical knowledge or training. So, I think it would be more fun for them to have Mick come than some pianist.
