Uilleam said:"So, as some of you may have seen Peat & Diesel got a new drumkit this summer which means we have a pile of drums in cases sitting around needing a new home.

"We want to give them to a kid who may not get the chance to have their own kit or buy one but has always wanted to play drums. This is the original kit I was playing when this band started and is one I’ve owned for about 10 years.

"Message us on the P&D Facebook page and tell us what this would mean to to your child!"

The drum kit is a Tama superstar 5 piece kit, which retail for around £700–£1000.
