Samba Reggae Drum Course for Beginners - Brazilian Percussion in Toronto

Learn samba reggae on a real drum with TDot Batu, a Toronto samba reggae band led by Pato Irie, who is from Salvador, Bahia, where the rhythm was born. This is a five-class course on Saturday afternoons from 2 to 4 PM: November 7, 14, 21 and 28, and December 12 (no class on December 5). In each class you learn your own part and the breaks, and by the end the whole room plays the groove together as one band. All drums and sticks are provided and no experience is needed. New to samba reggae, or played a little? You are welcome. All ages are welcome; under 18s need a parent or guardian who stays for the class. Tickets: CA$190 early bird until October 30, CA$200 after, for the full course. Geary Avenue Rehearsal Studios, 330 Geary Ave (Studio 10), Toronto.
