Schools

Everyone can play drums. Everybody has the ability to make music.

And Kids make the best drum students of all... They learn faster than adults and the simplicity of their understanding process allows them to grasp complex polyrhythms.

Our drumming workshops specialise in team building, communication, creativity, relaxation, education cooperation and having a lot of fun.

We provide an easy access into African rhythms for all ages and abilities. Everybody has a part to play in the workshop, from the big bass drums that set the rhythm in motion, to the bright and cheerful djembe drums that provide the groove, the sharp and clear bell rhythms guiding the way and the loose sounding shakers bringing it all together, making it clear and evident that everybody is helping everyone else.

Whats involved

Our African drumming workshops allow students to learn by listening to each other. Each workshops involves rhythms games, an introduction to the different drums and cultures of Africa and a great rhythm to follow.

Testimonials

Paul was booked by us to facilitate drumming workshops with groups of young people at our Annual Showcase in the RDS in 2009. This annual event hosts around 5,000 energetic teenagers from all over the Ireland. Paul worked fantastically well with the young people, leading 20 minute drumming sessions on a stage in the Open Mic area of the event. We were delighted to have Paul there and the young people really enjoyed the workshops. We would recommend him for any youth based event - he interacted very well with the students, attracted a large crowd to the area and the activity provided an amazing atmosphere. It was a real bonus having Paul for our Showcase this year and we would certainly love to work with him again in the future. Young Social Innovators, 2009


We listen to the children when they play, their mind is free from the troubles of life and they play as they feel within the traditional music. Master Drummer Tomas Camara. Les Balets Djoliba de Guinea
