Alesis Nitro Drum Set!

Help me give my students a brand new electronic drumset to replace the broken ones falling apart.

My Project

Our middle school general music class has been a vibrant hub of creativity and learning, where students explore rhythm, melody, and the joy of making music together. However, our current Alesis electronic drum set, which has served us faithfully for years, is now falling apart—pads are worn, connections are failing, and it’s struggling to keep up with our eager drummers. Your support could change that by helping us replace it with a new Alesis electronic drum set, ensuring our students have reliable, quality equipment to fuel their musical growth.

A new Alesis Nitro drum set, costing approximately $500, would breathe fresh life into our program.

It’s not just about replacing broken gear—it’s about giving our students the tools to build confidence, teamwork, and skills they’ll carry beyond the classroom. With a modern electronic set, we can expand our curriculum to include contemporary music styles, recording techniques, and even small ensemble performances, all while keeping noise levels manageable in our shared space. Your donation would directly impact dozens of students each year, sparking their passion for music and opening doors to future opportunities.

We’re reaching out to our community with a heartfelt plea: please consider contributing to this cause. Whether it’s $10, $50, or any amount you can spare, every dollar brings us closer to our goal. Together, let’s keep the beat alive for our young musicians—thank you for believing in them and in the power of music education!
