Here's what some students said about previous Escola de Bateria weekend workshops.
The workshop was brilliant very entertaining I loved the experience of playing in a big band and taking part in the Brazilian and samba music and the tutors were great and fun to be with. Couldn't of asked for a better weekend workshop

I loved the way it was very confidently taught....having assumption we knew what we were doing worked! We could do nothing but do it right! It was a lot of fun and all the tutors were so kind and even the jokes were good! Amazed at the amount we got through. Thanks.
