Music for all our community
This is a truly wonderful series of drumming sessions run by the incredible Matt Cotter. Matt has supported The Cure, recorded at BBC Maida Vale studios and played at Glastonbury. Matt is incredibly knowledgeable and will share this and his enthusiasm with you. Matt has many years teaching drums so you will leave these workshops with a steady beat in your step and a high hat in your head.
This is a no pressure environment so you only need to progress at your own speed.
