This section is dedicated to a selected list of educators who believe in directing their students to one specialized place that stock the items they utilize in their teaching cirriculum. Are you tired of sending your students to different places or hearing that they couldn't find what they needed? At 247drums, owner Sergio Bellotti, understands how important it is to have all the tools in place beginning with their first lesson The idea is to have their sticks,metronome,books,music notepad etc, ready at the very beginning, to be prepared.
Find the suggested tool list of your teacher here below.(If you don't see your teacher on this list ask him to join; if you are a teacher and wish to join the network or update your current list email us at 247drums@gmail.com)
