Hand Drumming and Percussion – Fairfield Gonzales Community Association

Hand Drumming & Percussion with Jordan Hanson

Beginners welcome – Drums provided

This course teaches you the fundamental hand positions and drum sounds so that you can feel comfortable jamming at home or with friends. The step-by-step lessons will show you the right way to play it correctly. You will learn new rhythms, technique, patterns and grooves, how to improvise, and how to care for your drum. Basically, you will become an instant musician, and get to have fun playing rhythms each week.

You do not need to know anything about drumming before taking this course. In fact, you do not even need a drum. Professional drums are provided for all classes. You will also receive a 30-page guide – “Intro Hand Drumming” for your own future reference.
