So, now that Charlie, aka, “The Human Metronome,” is in public school, he can take music classes, and we got him a Ludwig Percussion Kit, model LR2482R, which, “features a 13″ wooden snare drum, 2 1/2 octave bells, tunable practice pad with multi-purpose snare and bell stand, music rack, mallets and drum sticks. All items fit securely in the padded rolling bag that has sturdy plastic wheels and a telescoping handle.”

It’s pretty neat how you get it all into one compact package.

Charlie got it yesterday, when the music store delivered it to school, and has been working the drums and bells.

Mostly the bells.

Right now, he’s sitting there with the mallets, and plinking out a tune….Not Mary Had a Little Lamb….He’s doing Beethoven’s Ode to Joy.

He must get the musical skilz from his mother’s side of the family.
