I hav been drumming for two years now. and all of my stuff is breaking, but my family does not have the money to help me pay for it. I’m also in a band, and so i need to keep things up to date in order for us to succeed. So this would b an AMAZING thing to win!!!
I have been playing drums for a while now, and i cannot afford to upgrade anything on my kit. i’m still stuck with begginer cymbals. my snare drum is very cheap and is untunable! ive tried everything! i am constantly tuning it to try and make it better, ive tried moon gels but they dont even help. please pick me to win! i am in a band but my drums sound so bad.. please help! being a musician is my dream, please help me out?
I have been playing drums since the age of 14, everything i now own is very low-quality beginner equipment, i am one who only wishes to play, for me MUSIC=LIFE, without it i have nothing, drumming has been a huge passion for me for the past few years, and i cant help but want to progress my skills with all things rythmn, there is nothing more i could ask for than to just be able to live my passion, for me drumming is that passion. winning this would make me ultimately the happiest kid on the face of the earth.
i just took in my homeless friend in and I am try to win this for him because his whole life is surrounded by music. I am just a college student that does not have much money to buy a drum set for him. I am just trying to win this for my friend!
I have one my closest friend . He is awesome drummer . He is playing since the age of 5 . I don’t know how he succeed in learning drums but he is really awesome . He is now 13 yrs old . But his mother can’t afford him drums because they are only dependent upon pension and which is too low . How ever he had saved money but wasn’t able to buy drums so he has double pedals . I think that i need to help him if i get this drums i ‘ll surely be gifting it to him. He is really awesome drummer so i need to help him .He is just 12 and can cover most of the song of lamb of god , and many of slipknot . He is another joey jordison . He is so good that some other local musician has given him name Jordan. Else hoe to participate in the give away .
