Street Drum Corps is a punk rock percussion band that was started in April 2004 by Bobby Alt (S.T.U.N., Faculty X), Adam Alt (Circus Minor), and Frank Zummo (TheStart).
The group uses instruments such as hand drums, acoustic drum kits, buckets, kitchenware, recycled aluminium garbage cans, rain barrels, marching band equipment, and even power tools to produce a grinding effect.
