See, not as scary as you thought, huh?! The greatest thing about non-traditional kits is the versatility. If you like one of these kit ideas but the specifics don’t work for you-change it up! Does everyone in your community play ukulele and no one will check this kit out? Could you do a lap harp instead? Or perhaps different types of handheld percussion instruments?
And if you are at the front end of non-traditional kits thinking “those ideas seem so cool but how do I do it?” Then you need my “Curating Non-Traditional Collections” course which will walk you through curating non-traditional collections for your library step-by-step. Check that course out HERE!
Do you have a non-traditional kit you have come across or curated that you LOVE?
