School Drum Club Needs Instrument Support

Help me give my students refurbished drum equipment to continue our drum club!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Larsen's classroom raised $839

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our 7th through 12th grade drum club provides free drum instruction to our diverse student population, most of whom have little access to these kinds of instruments or instruction.

Our well-loved and lovingly battered drum sets and snare drums are in need of maintenance.

New drum heads and equipment gear (screws, pins, felts, and more) will breathe new life into drums; quiet cymbals and sound pads are safer for our students' ears and facilitate practice times.

A small investment to repair our instruments is a cost-effective solution to support our club for years!
