Sounds cool!

How long is one session?

 

[anaki]

Each session is approximately 75 minutes long, with drum kits set up for you to have a hands-on feel at the end of each day. The first two sessions are tailored more for beginners or those needing a refresher course, whilst sessions 3 & 4 are slightly more advanced for drummers who already have basic knowledge. There's also a free & easy Q&A session after Sessions 2 and 4. Limited seats are available so it's best to book early. Tell your friends!

[mel80]

Damn. I hate myself for missing this due to work!

 

[nkf31]

oh really interested - are you guys meeting up first?

 

[plainsman]

yups

pls call above number to book your slot. c u there and say hi (just shout "soft drummer" if not sure... lol)

 

[plainsman]

met nkf31 at the workshop and pretty good experience overall

anaki records is a really cosy and nice place, there are 3 rooms with drumsets there (!) which makes you wonder if the owner is a total drum nut :lol:

on the whole, i found boon gee's presentation earnest and sincere. he told me honestly that he's still quite new to this, but we all know he has plenty to offer, i'm sure once he gets the hang of conducting workshops and classes it'll start to get going really good.

as one of 'soft drum ambassador' lol i invited him to drop by our next drum exchange, he's unable to make it for the next one due to his schedule.

guys if boon gee runs another round of classes, don't hesitate and sign up.

i enjoyed myself simply by sitting there and hearing clean, accurate playing *thumbs up*

cheers

 

[marcdadrummer]
