Students must have these items at home to use in their home practice to be able to fully participate in band:
#1 Glockenspiel Pack (<-- Click to order) $179.99 (comes with glockenspiel, drumsticks, mallets, and a practice pad. Unbelievable value for the money, and they can practice all parts at home)
#2 (Optional) Although a practice pad does come with the above Glockenspiel Pack, students have enjoyed practicing more often on one of the Practice Pads below. A "cool drum pad" is simply more fun to use! This is optional, but can add fun to practice.
#2 (Optional) Practice Pad #1 (<-- Click to order) $79.00
#2 (Optional) Practice Pad #2 (<-- Click to order) $66.96
#2 (Optional) Practice Pad #3 (<-- Click to order) $53.49
#2 (Optional) Practice Pad #4 (<-- Click to order) $29.95 (the student favorite, fits easily in a backpack**)
RM Sides does have the "Glockenspiel Pack" and some Practice Pads in stock!
You must also purchase these items
Five Minute Drill Method Book (all percussion students)
