There are only two pieces of equipment needed for each student.

  1. Bucket
  2. Pair of sticks

Buckets

Please see the bonus item provided below for guidance on the best type of buckets to get. Generally these can be sourced from local hardware stores at a relatively small price. They can sometimes be sourced from people in industrial businesses free of charge. Search on google or ask around parent and friend groups and you can be amazed at what may be donated!

Sticks

Ideally real drum sticks are best. Ask your local music store for a bulk price on the cheapest sticks they have, and these will be just fine.

If this is too expensive, then it is possible to use plain wood dowels. Buy 10-12mm dowel rod from the local hardware store, and cut them to length. If doing this, consider winding the sticks with electrical tape. This will make the sticks last longer, and avoid the chance of splinters.
