I would suggest not relying on the title so much to shoehorn an image into a challenge. Missing the School Days part.

Love/dont like. if the strange colors werent reflecting back i'd like it a little better, or maybe you were going for that? Im not sure. But its not horrible...

Good composition, lighting, color scheme.

I love the lighting in this image, the detail of the side of the drum and the drum sticks, and I like the dof. The red reflection in the drum makes the image stand out. It relates to school (to me) because I only see drums in school bands or orchestra's, not too many people have them lying around the house as a hobby (like guitars for instance). Cool Dude :)

Not many rimshots on those sticks yet - eh? :D

Nice macro. Good job on the lighting and the comp/crop.

Nice use of shallow DOF - a little static for this challenge (photos with people - kids/ teachers/ etc will likely do better) - but I like the image.

Illusion of vibration as reflected on the side of the drum makes this foto work for me.
