I invite you to a 3-day drumming workshop. For many years we have been creating a friendly space for lovers of rhythm and drums. If you feel that you want to develop yourself by playing your drum or if you want to start this adventure, our Silpia is the perfect place for you :)

What's in the workshops?

We will be playing shaman and hoop drums. This distinction is more practical than factual because the shaman drum is also a hoop drum. We will learn to play with a stick and hands and fingers.
Playing the drums is very pleasant, relaxing, improves the functioning of the body and also brings people together in the community. What you need is knowledge and practice on how to use the drum. How to hit it to get a full, beautiful sound without effort and tension in the body.
Knowing rhythms from different parts of the world is not necessary to play the drum, but it is helpful. Rhythms carry a centuries-old tradition of a community of people, for me they are spells that open different paths in us - to fun, reflection, excitement, introspection, evoke memories, relax the body and mind. That's why I'm learning rhythms and sharing this knowledge with others.
In addition to traditional rhythms, you can create your own rhythms that reflect your mood, maybe your desires, or generally allow you to express yourself through the drum. Communication with the world through drums is a strong root of human civilization. Over many years of playing drums, I have discovered that the development of playing skills is like the development of a language, we learn words and the structure of the language thanks to which we are able to communicate.
We will sing :) I can't otherwise. The voice of the drum and the human voice are very close to each other. One supports the other. We sing rhythms according to the Indian Konnakol tradition and intuitive melodies that are born "here and now".
If you don't have your own drum - write to me, I'll share mine with you jacek@bebnyjackkazelazka.pl
