This prestigious event is an intensive summer course designed for advanced drummers and teachers and features a number of professional and high-profile resident teachers.
Interactive workshops, seminars, advice clinics, Q & A sessions all provide wonderful opportunities to observe true professionals in action and even the opportunity of ‘sitting-in’ yourself. Seminars have included world drumming, electronic drumming, the session drummer, tuning, and business skills. We aim to improve your playing to the next level. Places are strictly limited on this course to maintain an intimate and exclusive atmosphere and the week is only suitable for the serious teacher/player over the age of 16.
Over the past two years Steve Smith, Stanton Moore, Geoff Dugmore, Ralph Salmins, Craig Blundell, Jason Bould, Pete Cator have all taught on the course, with many guests from the drumming world also making guest appearances.
Daily workshops and classes will run from 10am – 5pm every day, include a maximum of 15 students per class with over 7 hours of tuition with each residential teacher. There will be several informal evening events scheduled, including clinics by the artists and a jam night.
The luxurious venue is situated conveniently close to the M1 and M25 and accommodation is available at the venue in a top class hotel with leisure facilities or alternative hotels nearby. Each student will receive a Vic Firth goodie bag and a course certificate. We recommend that you book early for this incredible experience to guarantee a space as we expect places to fill quickly due to limited numbers. If you can’t manage the course why not come along on the first evening to an all-star jam night and see all these inspirational players in action with a band.
