My students desperately want to participate in a drum line, but many have never had a music class. I need materials for every student in my exploring drumming class to get a chance to participate. Your contribution will fund a drum pad and snare stand for every student! We need practice pads and stands for all my students so they can practice percussion basics such as stick grip, basic rhythms, and beginning rudiments. At the moment we are sharing practice pads while other students use personal chalkboards. We could accomplish so much if we had a practice pad for every student and stands so students can stand while playing.
