Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Our primary goal is bringing music via drums to any person regardless of age, sex, race, skill, ability, or economic status.
Provide free drum lessons to underprivileged people.
Create strong partnerships with other local charities to strengthen our community.
Increase the participation of females in drumming.
Provide services for performing drum events and shows for other organizations.

1. Continue networking with local groups and businesses by building strong partnerships that benefit both oganization's missions.
2. Spread the word about our services and events via social media and other forms of advertising.
3. Seek the interest and help of prominent drummers in the music community.

1. We are a very driven and educated group. With many different backgrounds and strengths. We have the ability to solve many problems that arise.
2. With a very large contact base of drummers that continues to grow, we have a reach that increases daily.
3. Having close ties with many non-profit groups in our community.
4. We can produce large successful drumming / music events.

We are in the beginning phases of our FREE drum lessons program and still need to accomplish this. As well as having just set up a couple drumming programs. These will become reality this year.

Our biggest accomplishment being, that we even exist. We have forged ahead and made some strong partnerships with local groups. Our 2014 Drum Fest was the biggest yet.
