DRUM RIDE energizes middle schoolers hands-on as "DRUM RIDERS". Together with Bob at the wheel, they drive high-octane beats for songs: Rap, hip-hop, rock & roll, reggaeton, salsa, funk, and rhythm & blues. Their confidence, esteem, teamwork, and self-regulation are enhanced. They take away inspiration to participate with school, out-of-school-time, family, and community music activities.
TAKE A DRUM RIDE'S 100% participatory music is grounded with lyrics in Spanish, English, Portuguese, and Yoruba. Kids experience multiple successes. They take away music and collaboration skills that enable them to contribute drumming for school activities such as theater performances and sports events.
Two caregivers or adult family members are welcome to assist as stage crew.
