Drummers at my school, a central part of my ensemble, have mostly broken and faulty equipment. They deserve the best I can get them in order to realize their potential as musicians. Proper equipment will allow them to have more pride in their school and in themselves. The concert snare drums I am requesting will not only be an invaluable resource for my current group of students, but they will remain here for years to come, allowing for an impact that will eventually measure in the thousands! Let's help the students of DMS by supporting this great project!
