Drum Breaks is an intensive two day drum course whose mission is to cover as much material as possible and make an tangible difference to your drumming ability in that time. Geared towards intermediate to advanced players, tutors Tim Brown and James Hester will be looking into technique and coordination, polyrhythms, stickings, subdivision, odd time signatures, linear playing, studio techniques and many other aspects and areas that will see you both stretched and motivated to increase your creative foundations.



Paiste artists Tim and James have a wealth of experience between them having worked/working with Aynsley Lister, Malakai, Cars On Fire, The Four Tops, The Drifters and members of Portishead, Robert Plant, Massive Attack, Pitchshifter, Paul Weller, Ocean Colour Scene and The Who. James is Head of Drums at BIMM Bristol where he passed his PG Cert (Ed) and is working towards his MA. Both them have gained a huge amount of teaching skills at the IDF RhythmFest Course various drum clinics and private teaching. James will also be teaching from his first book which came out in February 2011 – Mind Over Meter.

With the supported of Mapex, Paiste, Vic Firth, Protection Racket and Baskey and held at the well equipped Quad Stuido in Leicester, the course costs £135 (including a copy of James’s book and buffet lunch on both days) this is an intensive, short-burst chance to take on some new techniques and ideas to develop and find your own voice on the drums!
