Drumming

Local Drumming Tutor and Lead Drummer of Grampian Police Pipe Band, Nick Gibson, will be holding a week long workshop at Aberdeen Arts Centre.  Young drummers (8-14years) will be shown how the basic rudiments of drumming are built into many different forms of drumming from traditional Pipe Band through to Orchestra to Rock and Jazz.

Taking place on Monday 4th-Friday 8th August, from 10am - 12pm, this is a sure fire way to keep the kids occupied through the holidays.
