Drum Replacement Parts in Need

Help me give my students new drum pedals and new hi hat stands to replace our broken ones.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gibson's classroom raised $460

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are very talented and eager to learn to play the drum set. I have several students who show up during their lunch periods to get extra practice to learn to play the drum set. However, our equipments are old and falling apart. I would love to be able to give all my music students the best musical experience that they could have when they come to the music room. My goal for this project is to replace the broken parts on the current instruments we have in the classroom so that the students can continue to practice and develop their drumming skills.
