My Project

My band students are so ambitious and love creating music. Many of my students are gifted and playing at high school level. My goals are to create a better atmosphere for practicing independently and to allow drummers experience using an electric kit. The electronic drum kit will allow drummers to practice with headphones allowing other students to hear better in the room when they are not playing together. The amps will allow them to utilize the instruments in live performance. The drum mutes will make it so the drum kit is not the loudest thing in the room (and often having a decibel value higher than recommended for continued good hearing).
