A Drummer’s World was conceived in a dream. One night in 2006 founder Alando Mitchell fell asleep thinking about ways he could support and empower youth in Goldsboro. He woke up the next morning with the vision of starting a drumline. That same morning, he went over to the Goldsboro YMCA and pitched his idea. The dream soon became reality.
