Dear Friends, Do you remember your first instrument? What it felt like to be given something so special? So important? So mysterious? I certainly do. In fact, I still have the first drum I ever received - a late '60's Slingerland student-model snare that my parents bought for me when I made the Voorheesville Elementary School band. I was ten-years-old. It was, is, and will remain the most special and important drum I own. When Hurricane Katrina swept ashore on Monday, August 29, 2005, it took many things with it. Lives. Hopes. Dreams. It destroyed homes and businesses. Schools and churches. Everything. It also swept the music out of a city and a region that has never known anything else. And it stole the instruments played by - and cherished by - children in school music programs across the area. Along with many of our "better known" friends and clients, DrumART.com is proud to be working with NAMM and the Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation to conduct series of charity auctions to help "Bring the Music Back" to those displaced music students and to the region. Between December 1 and December 10, 2005 we will be auctioning off the following custom bass drum heads - many of them designed and autographed by the artists themselves. The proceeds will be matched dollar-for-dollar by NAMM, and the total amount will be donated to the Mr. Holland's Opus foundation to be used specifically to put musical instruments back into the hands of children displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Please join us in our effort to help bring the music back! With my most humble and sincere thanks, Jim Feck, Owner and President |
