Justin Piwetz
Beginner Middle Eastern Drumming - Mondays @ 4:30 PM
This class explores middle eastern drumming techniques and rhythms with a focus on doumbek and frame drum although cajon and djembe can also work in conjunction. The focus of the class will be on the ability to play the various rhythms on your instrument with confidence and precision as well as learning to fit in to an ensemble or drum circle. We will primarily focus on full drum ensembles however I will bring in melody instruments occasionally in order to demonstrate the differences in style when playing with melody. No drumming experience is required and we do have a limited number of loaner instruments for those wanting to experiment before committing to purchasing a drum of their own.
Please contact Justin before class if you intend to come and will need a loaner.
