My Disney Drummer Boy
By TheAngelForever | October 8, 2011
Dear NHL,
Back when school started, you came home with a band sign up sheet. I had forgotten that this is the year that you can begin to take lessons in school. When I asked you what you wanted to play, you did not hesitate and said drums. I filled out the form and asked the band teacher a quick question. He e-mailed me back and told me that you were the first to sign up for percussion, so you were good to go.
We rented the set to see how you would like this before we invested more money. After about a week, your percussion set arrived at school. This bag is big and VERY heavy. Here is a photo of the day it arrived next to the sliding door in my car.
This week, you had your second lesson and are in love with it. I am hoping your interest will continue. We need to set a routine for practice time when JSL will leave you alone to play. The best part was that Nana and Papa brought you a special gift on their return from Walt Disney World. They called me to see what I thought and I said it seemed fun and very different. Here you are with them:
Yes, while at Animal Kingdom Nana and Papa saw drum sticks with Mickey animal prints on them. You loved them and immediately asked to test them out. We are waiting to do that until after Yom Kippur. Then, we will break out your items and let you put on a show. I look forward to listening to you show your musical side and can not wait to see how this continues.
Love,
Mommy

Beth, this is so cool!!! I had no idea that they sold drumsticks at Walt Disney World!! DD9 wants to be a drummer and I’m thinking she’ll want to play in school band too. She’s a 4th grader, so she has to wait a little bit, but she sure is good at Guitar Hero!

I’m coming to believe that just about everything can be found Disney-fied! And that’s a good thing~

WOW! When I played our set was drum sticks and a Remo practice pad (about the size of a dinner plate)
Those DAK Drum sticks are awesome!
