How my nephew got a full set of drums (Thread)
I paid him a visit and when I got this was the set up...
With the help of the guys at @backabuddy I managed to create a campaign for him to raise funds so he can get a full set of drums https://www.backabuddy.co.za/champion/project/lumko-dyantyi
The guys @GoodThingsGuy wrote an article about him, and the campaign got traction. Here's the link https://www.goodthingsguy.com/people/sa-drummer-boy-with-drum-kit-made-out-of-buckets-and-tools-to-get-proper-set/
After the article @GoodThingsGuy people started donating more to the campaign and two days later a good Samaritan donated a Full Set Of Electric Drums

When I gave him the good news....

He played a little something for the sponsors and donors on the bucket drums for the last time 


After this day he kept calling and asking if the drums were here yet
oh guys I love this kid


The campaign managed to raise R5044.11 and since the drums were donated, we decided that the money will be used for Drum Lessons

@TimesLIVE wrote an article about him even though the misspelled the surname. It's Dyantyi not Dyanti

Then the drums came 
"the bread can wait"



He played the beat he played with the bucket drums...

He used to annoy me so much with all this drum talk and randomly hitting the table imitating drums that was about a year ago, I only saw the passion when I saw the whole bucket set up, that's when I took him seriously...
The guys @GoodThingsGuy wrote another article about him after receiving the drums

Here's a thank you message from the Drummer Boy 


I did all this for him was because I saw the passion in his eyes and how he spoke about drumming I had to do something, I told my friends and family that we shouldn't sleep on our kids dreams, thank you so much for everyone who donated to the campaign 


A special shout out to @backabuddy for making all of this possible, please continue doing what you guys are doing, you really opening doors for a lot of people
