    Weʼve 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

      Week 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

      Solo No. 18, filmed in the gardens at Follaton House, Totnes by Honey Sharp. We're currently at 95% of target, and require less than £50. If you haven't had chance to donate yet, and are able to do so, please do, even if it's just a small amount. Thanks again for all the kind donations and shares so far. Thanks also to Matt at Sia Drums UK, make sure you check out their amazing drums at London Drum Show.

      94%! So close to hitting target, we can almost smell the birch shells. If you intended to donate, but haven't done yet, please do so, even if it's just the price of a pint (London prices, obvs). Once again, huge thanks for all the kind donations & shares x
