MYRTLE BEACH, SC- Students at Ocean Bay Middle School can now take a class on steel drum and taiko. The class was previously only offered at Carolina Forest Elementary, but Dr. Tim Peterman wanted to give students the chance to keep playing as they grow older.
While the instruments are unique, Dr. Peterman said they're well received by students.
"You get to hit something, that's the main thing," said Dr. Peterman.
Eighth grader Tony Mastroberti started playing at the elementary school and picked it back up this year.
"You could play tropical music, classical music, jazz music, anything," said Mastroberti.
According to Dr. Peterman, the class currently has 73 students enrolled.
