2025 DLasDrums Student Recital
On Sunday October 5, 2025 we will be hosting our 2nd annual student recital. Tickets are $15.00 (kids under 12 are free). All proceeds from our recital will benefit the Southbury Volunteer Fire Department. It will be held in the SVFD Hall located at 461 Main St. South Southbury, CT.

You can also purchase tickets at the door on the day of the event.
Our 2024 recital was very well attended by students’ families and friends and raised nearly $800.00 for the SVFD. All students did a great job and, most importantly, had a blast performing with a live band of professional, seasoned musicians for the very first time.
Here are some pics of last year’s recital.
Jake killin’ (in a great way) Z.Z. Top’s “Gimme All Your Lovin’
Calvin seriously groovin’ to Ben E. King’s“Stand By Me”
Ryan is in the groove - performing CT’s own The Wildweed’s “No Good To Cry”
Don’t let the hot dog hat fool you. Ethan is all business when it comes to drumming
Joseph did a great job with The Rolling Stones hit “Satisfaction”
Oliver ended our recital by knocking Tom Petty’s “Won’t Back Down” out of the park!

1982 Pearl Maples (G-Series - Keller shells)
16’x22” Bass drum / 16”x16” Floor Tom / 12” x 14” Tom / 10”x12” Tom / 8”x10” tom
There was a brown industrial cover over these drums. A heat gun and hours of work uncovered the original finish. The drums are in good shape for being 37 yrs old. Bearing edges are very good, and while some of the hardware shows patina, the set is all there.
Restoration mode.
Here’s the finished set.
These Keller maple shells sound amazing!
Warm and punchy!
A huge shout out to my friends at Precision Drum Company.

Folchi, Precision Drum Company was the first provider of drum recovering wrap, selling the very same material that was being used by the major American drum companies.
