More info
Samba Breaks & Beats is a percussion workshop tour which will focus on the new inventions of the most traditional baterias (percussion groups) from Rio de Janeiro. Our goal is to bring fresh information straight from the source. New ways of playing the samba groove, the latest technique approaches, tuning of the instruments, the best drum breaks from the most recent carnival as well as new ways of playing the turns and repique calls. It’s a workshop with a strong focus on an efficient teaching method which will improve technique, show the new inventions and expand the mind as well as the musical vocabularies of participants at any level.
All workshops are taught with a fun relaxed approach and can be planned with you in order to suit your needs.
As well as the tuition, workshops participants will receive 2 free e-books. One including the notes from the class and another containing the grooves of the Rio samba Schools. All written by Gabriel Lopes.
We will also bring our shop of instruments, accessories, books and t-shirts so they are available for students to browse and purchase.
