Summer Drum Day - a 1 day drum experience  on Tuesday, June 6th 2023 at Adventure Camp, Hamperley nr Church Stretton.

I's a fun, outdoor summer workshop featuring a mix of easier to learn rhythms and some more tricky rhythms for intermediate drummers. It's not for complete beginners, so if in doubt about your level of playing do ask me!

What's the drumming day all about?
We will play some new extended rhythms to stretch you a little and to learn to play in a bigger ensemble. No 'walk of shame' drum solos (unless you want to!).
We will major on djembe playing of course, but we will also play dun-duns so we can have some fun playing the 'bass parts' too. This workshop is not for complete beginners so only pass on invite friends or family if they're more experienced to at least 'improver' or 'intermediate' level. If in doubt ask me. 
What are the details?
Times: From 10.30am start with a warm-up; 1.45 to 4pm. Bring a picnic lunch to share!
Venue & location: Adventure Camp, Hamperley nr Ch Stretton.

Cost: £15 + drum hire £2.00; £7.50+£1 drum hire for half day (am or pm)

What do I need to do now?

Please email to enquire or to book a place: rhythms@thedrumcoach.org

I will be making a contribution to my various African charities/good causes after the workshop.

I look forward to hitting the skin with you soon! Come and join in...

Corporate team building workshops

I also run workshops for corporate teams and groups either on-site or at a nearby external venue - a great way to bring the team together using rhythm to connect members to take collective responsibility, and fun!

As a trained facilitator, I can bring out the key issues the team need to face and work through using music as the medium. I have some excellent and skilled colleagues who can help me with larger groups or events.
