What workshops do you offer?
Band Practice Workshop
This is a free workshop for all Planet drum students on a standard music course. Playing music together and learning how to respond to each other's cues is an excellent way to develop as a musician. Check out the song list before the workshop to familiarise yourself with what we'll be playing. Our band practice workshops are a great opportunity for students to rehearse for our summer and winter concerts.
A fun and dynamic workshop that mixes traditional percussion instruments and rhythms with contemporary drum kit grooves. Drummers and percussionists of all levels will benefit from this workshop, by gaining a broader understanding of the language of rhythm and by practicing playing in a multi percussionist setup. Planet drum students get the opportunity to perform live in front of an audience twice a year.
Improvisation Workshop
An improvisation is a piece of music that is created spontaneously, with neither practice nor planning. In this new workshop, you'll practice improvisation by playing alongside each other and creating new ideas on the spot. Improvisation is at the heart of great musicianship, and this workshop provides an excellent opportunity for students of all levels to jam, have fun and learn a new skill.
Rudiment Workshop
What we're focussing on is the Snare drum rudiments and applied technique. This involves the language of the rudiments, dynamic control and exercises to develop accuracy in their execution. The workshop is mainly (if not entirely) on practice pads. It can be suitable for any age or stage of development.
Music Production
