“…..he has the ability to raise one’s drumming skills to ever higher levels and his ever-present radiant smile which gets broader when we get it right”
This workshop is not suitable for beginners and inexperienced drummers. You will need to have experience of regular learning of West African rhythms on djembe/dundun, and you must have mastered the basics.
If you are unsure of your level, or to make a booking, please contact coral@drumwhisperer.co.uk
It's interesting that the workshop explicitly excludes beginners and requires mastery of the basics, which suggests the weekend is built around refining technique and ensemble feel rather than introducing rhythms from scratch. I wonder how Seckou structures the two days to accommodate players at different intermediate levels without slowing anyone down. Does the dundun component run separately from the djembe sessions, or are they integrated throughout both days?
