The drum workshop explores movement and percussion on hand build industrial drums fabricated by William. The class explores many world influences such as African and Latin rhythms and Taiko fundamentals. You will be challenged with unique rhythms, you will learn to drum on multiple drums as well as to spin and twirl from drum to drum in choreographed synchronicity. The class ends with an improvised jam where every one gets a chance to drum freely, listening to each other and maybe even incorporating what was learned in class.
