New bongo drums: 2 drums in 1!

The music room got some new bongo drums! But they're not being used as bongo drums... They can be taken apart to become two separate drums! It's like two drums for the price of one. I got this idea from a drumming workshop with Bob Bloom.
Here's a link to the drums on Amazon: Remo Rhythm Club Bongos.
These drums are a great idea for families with multiple children who each want a drum, or teachers who want some inexpensive drums that younger grades can hit upon without worry to us! I have used these drums a few times and they are durable and the kids love the cute design. They are also very portable since the smaller drum fits into the bigger drum. The feet on the bottom of the drums allows the drums to sit right on the floor without muffling the sound, which makes it very easy with younger students.

Bongo drums attached (top) and unattached (bottom).

The inside of the drums where you can see how they are connected.

The drums once unattached and the parts (I just saved all these screws, etc. in a big bag and labeled it "bongo drum parts").

The little drum can fit into the big drum for easy storage and transport!
