Obviously, not gonna get rich here, but thought there might be some drum students
of local guys who would be interested or someone in school or...

Just don't see many drum jobs around. A little outside the box, but a musical opportunity
nonetheless.

I only mentioned the hourly rate to express my shock. Considering what they're asking, and who they are, I find it extremely unreasonable, a little laughable, and seriously insulting.

Ahhh...I appreciate that level of honesty. Welcome to my life right now!
No teaching positions in schools, left to these types of opportunities...
part time, no health benefits...yes, humbling and insulting as well.

One of the only real ways to make some cash is to start a drum circle for mothers/ fathers
& sons/daughters and get about 5-10 to come weekly at $25 a lesson. Fun and easy money
if you can stand the "cookies on the bottom shelf" rhythms. The satisfaction is seeing people
connect through drumming.

I have been teaching 30 years and have all degrees you could ask for and more but would fall short on:

"Must have at least two years experience in Street Drumming (with buckets) "

:D

Is this add a joke?! Hitting buckets with sticks folks. It's a bunch of Neil Peart fills over and over. Like the snare drums fills at the end of The Big Money. Not much syncopation going on playing buckets. Is there hardcore reading going on? Every time I see these cats playing its a bunch of 16th notes. Pull the bucket up with your knees to get an open sound. It's noise to my ears. Stop the banging. 3rd street promonade is filled with these bucket heads.
