My Project

The RHS Senator Sound recently acquired a new set of drums but our old drum hardware (snare stand, hi hat stand, throne, etc...) and cymbals desperately need to be replaced.

The snare drum stand is literally falling apart and barely adjustable.

The cymbal stands aren't much better. Our cymbals are very old and/or need to be upgraded. They are very cheap models that have been dented or cracked over the years.

Our students and community will really enjoy this equipment in our Jazz program and concert/marching bands for years to come.
