2) If you intend to learn to play the drums or the pipes you will need basic practice equipment. The band does not provide these as they are considered as personal equipment. However, in the case of both Piper & Drummer you can acquire a practice chanter for a piper or drum sticks and practice pads for a drummer. Follow the link below to Kilts and More for prices etc.. NOTE: Before you order we advise you to consult either the Pipe Major or Drum Sergeant.
