<h3>What you can expect</h3><p>T﻿ake your playing to the next level with with this professional yet informal and fun workshop where you&#x27;ll get to  learn the fundamentals of good hand technique in a group environment. We will be covering</p><p><strong>E﻿rgonomics</strong> - How to set up your snare (or pad) height correctly. This will allow you to go back to your kit and set it up in a way that feels good and will allow you to get around with ease.</p><p><strong>G﻿rips</strong> - There are many ways to hold your drum sticks and none of them are right or wrong. We&#x27;ll be briefly going over the different methods and see what they are best suited for.</p><p><strong>Motion control </strong>- We&#x27;ll go right back to the basics to help us gain a solid understanding of the motions required to play rudiments cleanly, fluently and with a great sense of dynamics. These are essential foundations for every drummer and you will leave with a great understanding of how to take these further in your own time.</p><p><strong>P﻿ractice tips</strong> - Practicing is a difficult topic to master. We&#x27;ll touch on how you can maximise your time when it comes to practicing technique and (time permitting) how you can apply rudiments to the drum kit.</p><p>Y﻿ou will be leaving with a great understanding of great technique as well as a few exercise sheets that you can work on back home.</p><p>T﻿here will be a 30 minute break with refreshments (coffee, tea, juices and biscuits etc). There is parking and also buses that stop a 2 minute walk from the workshop venue.</p><p></p>
