better than baseball

Colby's revised drum set, starting from the left:

2 tin cans = high hats

cream-colored, animal skin-covered ethnic drum = snare

black bucket = tom 1

large red bucket = bass drum (still trying to figure out how to make a bass drum pedal!)

orange plastic pumpkin with yellow ball on top = tom 2

metal pot lid hanging on stick stuck through plastic purple cone = crash cymbal (still rummaging through kitchen cupboards for an appropriate sounding ride cymbal)

So far Coly loves drumming!

Yesterday on the way home in the car, he says,
"Mommy, I love drumming better than baseball!  I actually get excited about going to lessons!"

Music to a mother's ears.

(Might have to start talking to Santa Claus about shoving some kind of REAL drum set down the chimney this year, we'll see.....)
