Iʼve raised £1,010 to fund a new junior drum set & cymbals for Park School in Dartington.
- Totnes, United Kingdom
- Funded on Monday, 3rd October 2016
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
Park School in Dartington has some fantastic young drummers who are in need of a new drum set, as the current one is too large for younger students & in poor condition.
I'm raising funds to buy a new Yamaha Manu Katche Junior kit, suitable for all ages, together with new Istanbul Mehmet cymbals & Yamaha hardware.
To do this, I'm committed to performing & recording the entire All-American Drummer book of drum solos by Charley Wilcoxon (150 in all), posting one video per week on social media.
To view the solos, go to Instagram, username @drumting or YouTube https://www.youtube.com/user/drumting
Also look for the hashtag #WilcoxonChallenge on both Instagram & Twitter.
Park School is a registered charity #297797

8 years agoWeek 19 arrives with great news; we've hit target early! The new drums & cymbals will be ordered over the next couple of weeks, and the young drummers of Park School will be playing them in due course. I'd like to take this opportunity to all who have supported with donations, shares, publicity & putting up with the barrage of tweets & requests from myself & others. Special mentions must go to Matt at Sia Drums UK & Claire Brock. Let's keep going until 150 xx
