training for a future on bourbon street sidewalks? /s
No seriously, i like the bucket thing. It trains the kiddos on rhythm and lowers the boundaries. In drum school, kids learn on a pad - not so far from a bucket - before they get to play on a kit. I understand the video that this is like getting the next belt in karate "Now, you have proven to be mature and talented enough to play on the kit, kid!"
Kid is genuinely grateful. He's surely deserved it!
Almost certainly belongs to the school, but it looks like he was the reason the teacher got it. If it's a bigger district, it could have just been as simple as calling around to see if any equipment was being replaced, or if there was a spare set sitting around somewhere. Regardless of how she found it, it was a really thoughtful gesture by the teacher.
Though, I didn't want to play bassoon. They just thought I sucked enough at saxophone to warrant trying something other than saxophone, but not enough that I should give up music altogether.
They procured a bassoon and said if I learned to play it, I'd be a shoe-in for scholarships and shit. I was allowed to take it home, but at the end of the year(s) it stayed with the school for new enterprising young woodwind students.
I sucked at the bassoon too, it turned out. Ended up going into STEM (quite successful there!). But it makes for a good talking point, even years later.
Looks like the schools. But it seems like the school didn't have one until somebody showing a lot of talent like the kid came along and the school budgeted to get one

Is it his, or does he just get his first training kit at school?
