My Project

My school has two classes of percussion students who are responsible for acquiring much of their own gear for class. Often, this gear is purchased used or borrowed from other families so sometimes things need replacing or don't work the way they used to or are intended.

I would like to have a supply of drum pads for our students to use in class so they can improve their drumming technique.

These practice pads simulate the feel of playing on a real drum without the noise and disruption of having over 20 students on snare drums at the same time. These drum pads are highly recommended and used in many schools across the country.

Mr. Perkins will only receive his materials if this project is fully funded by September 3.
