Two Hour Introductory Drum Lesson
Are you ready to learn to play the drums and looking to unleash your inner drummer? Experienced drum instructor offering a personalised two-hour lesson in Grassington as part of the Grassington Devonshire Institute fund raising auction. I am a passionate and experienced drum instructor offering a personalized lesson, whether you're a complete beginner, a seasoned player looking to refine your technique, or just fancy a couple hours of fun.
I will share some of my many (too many to dwell on) years of drumming experience playing swing, jazz, rock, blues and pop music with the successful bidder.
The session is provisionally planned to be at the GDI (Town Hall) to enable use of a choice of acoustic or electronic drum kits and to enable playing along to backing tracks of your favourite tunes.
