Percussion

Required Materials

We require students to purchase their own sticks and mallets; it gives them a sense of ownership and responsibility to care for and use their own materials. Clark County Bands have partnered with Steve Weiss Music to provide you with an easy path to purchasing your student's required percussion materials. Simply click your student's grade below and you will be taken to our list on Steve Weiss' website. If items are out of stock, you may be able to find them on Amazon or other online shopping sites. A summary of required and recommended materials is provided below.
