PLAY THE DRUMS...TODAY!™
In this unique 45-minute interactive presentation, veteran percussion educator, B.J. Capelli, will turn everyone in the room into a drummer.
Based on material and concepts from his book, Armchair Drummer: The Easiest Way to Start Playing the Drums, B.J. takes any size group through the first steps of playing the drums, from basic 3-limb coordination patterns, to holding and moving the sticks... and has everyone rocking out and jamming along from beginning to end!
Designed for people with little or no drumming (or even music) experience, this fun and energizing program will really teach anyone to Play the Drums... Today!
