I purchased my daughter a set of electric drums online.
I have a mini stereo the kids broke and I want to use the speakers from it for the drums.
From bunnings I purchased
Antsig 6.35mm Stereo Plug Adaptor To 3.5mm Stereo Socket
It fits the drums but the adaptor is still too big for the plugs on the speaker.
I’m not sure what adaptor I need.
The speaker plugs look the same as audio visual cords for a DVD player.
Or even a link to the drum kit online.
Do you need an amplifier of some sort to drive the speakers? How broken is this mini stereo? I'm a bit confused by the description on what you are trying to achieve.
Is this roughly what you are looking at?
This is the drum kit

Ms paint, yes that is what I have to plug in. 2 for audio.
The mini stereo doesn’t play CDs anymore because kids and we don’t get radio signal so I got her an echo dot.
I’d like to plug the speakers in directly to the drum module if I can and forgo the need to buy an amp.
The drum module has 2 x 6.35mm stereo sockets but I’m struggling to find anything to make the speakers fit into that… possibly because it will blow everything up if I do?
That's some serious kit for newbie drummer kid. I hope your daughter appreciates and respects it.
If it's just the cd player that's gone bung then the stereo will need to be switched to auxiliary and use appropriate sized adapter's to get from the drum output to stereo input.
Do you have a Jaycar store nearby? If so they will likely stock what you need and the staff are half knowledgeable to help.
Or as dealmans said below just get some headphones.
Is there any other store that might have it?
Jaycar isn’t very close.
I just downloaded the user manual. The output diagram makes it look less technical than it actually is.
Give me a bit and I'll see if Bunnings have all the cables/adapters you need.
Edit:
Ok. Let's go mono at this stage to keep it simple and to make sure the busted stereo works in auxiliary mode.
Stick your existing 6.35 —> 3.5 mm adaptor in the output marked L-MONO on the drumming module.
Then purchase this from Bunnings. Plug the 3.5mm plug in the socket of your adaptor above. Plug the two RCA plugs matching the colours up (though it doesn't really matter in this case as it mono) into the back of the busted stereo.
Turn on the busted stereo, select Aux or similar for the input.
Drum away and see what happens.
Make sure the volumes are up on the drum kit and the stereo.
@MS Paint: that makes it look like the speakers will need to be active/powered/have an amp already.
OP i dont think you can power the CD player speakers solely off the drum output.
It is pretty awesome, she’s very lucky. It had a damaged box so it was heavily discounted.
Wow! You paid around twice as much as others sell! Now get a 1kW amp to releive your anger!
Buy her some noise cancelling headphones, will block out the pad noise from the sticks and she can keep the kit and music to play to at a low level. I am a Ex electric drum kit drummer, I had a speaker set up but rarely used it.
She has headphones but either she can hear herself play or I can hear her play and she can’t hear while I listen. She will mostly use the headphones.
Worst thing about electric drums is the pad noise especially on cheaper kits, noise cancelling headphones are a must.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
