our mission and our pledge is we strive to keep positive Minds to decrease negative reactions to bring Unity to our community and enjoy life abundantly avoiding negativity and why do we do this to bring smiles to the hearts of our neighbors and to be role models to others and I let everyone know that if the world lives by our pledge then the world would definitely be a better place in 2013 I lost a good friend also he was a drummer as well through gun violence and that's when we started promoting put down the guns and pick up some drums for a better Community we just like been going to different communities um and just spreading the word uh and that has definitely like made a impact when people hear the message or they see what we're doing it's it kind of De escalates situations like negative Vibes and stuff like that or whatever cuz they see people having fun I was a product of my environment so to say like in the streets and stuff like that or whatever like that but once I heard the message and I seen what was going on it was actually good and I like what he he stood for and I like the message that he was doing the main idea behind it is to disrupt people's thought processes right so when you get into a loop of being angry and stressed and upset and depressed your mind is is on a loop of a low frequency you hear the drum comes coming down your street all a sudden it disrupts your thoughts it spreads joy and it also spreads the message of there's other ways to channel your anger and your depression other than violence we take all talents and you don't have to have any experience will teach you everything you need to know put the guns down and play the drums come get involved with us and we can teach you a better way
