Masterclasses
I offer clinics and masterclasses for Drum Set, Marching Percussion and Hand Percussion that can be tailored to the needs and level of your group.
If you need instruction for your school concert or marching percussion section, I can provide you with a wealth of knowledge from first-hand experience, help you build up the fundamental technique and musicianship of your program. I also do band camps and consultations.
My drum set clinics focus on the importance of groove, phrasing and listening to the ensemble to have a better support for and communication with other instrumentalists. I also offer clinics and masterclasses on bringing rhythms and textures from the world of hand percussion onto the drum set.
My focus for masterclasses on North African percussion are specifically Egyptian classical & folk and also Moroccan folk & gnoua using the instrumentation of:
- Darbuka
- Riq
- Mizhar (frame drum)
- Bendir
- Zils
