We have a very large school and two music teachers on a cart. We simply don't have enough instruments for everyone to use them. I love these drums because they are large enough for more than one child to play at once (three can use each one if you do it just right) and two of them would allow six kids to play at once. Drumming is a wonderful way for students to internalize rhythm and can be very cathartic. The old quote, "If you've got a problem, take it out on a drum!" is fun, but it is also true!! Students who play instruments and learn to read rhythms also learn to read more readily. I believe having these two drums will spur interest in some of my students who may be more reserved.
