Arabic Grooves WORKSHOP

WORKSHOP TICKETS NOW ON SALE!

Step into a rich and dynamic rhythmic tradition with the Arabic Grooves for Drumset Workshop, designed to bring the concepts of my upcoming book “Arabic Grooves Applied to the Drumset” to life.

This workshop is a hands-on exploration of Arabic rhythms and how they can be authentically adapted to the modern drumset. Building directly on material from the book, we’ll go beyond the written page diving into feel, phrasing, sound, and musical context. Learn to internalize essential Arabic grooves, understand their cultural roots, and bring them to life through coordination, nuance, and creative application in modern playing.

Topics during the Workshop:
– Direct application from “Arabic Grooves Applied to the Drumset”
– Developing authentic feel, phrasing, and articulation
– Transforming traditional percussion to the modern drumset
– Arabic odd time grooves
– Polyrhythms & polymeters study
– Groove Variations and ghost note study
– Playalong application with music & backing tracks
– Interactive participation and Q&A

Join this interactive workshop with demonstrations, guided exercises, and hands-on opportunities to play, ask questions, and connect Arabic grooves to your own musical voice. Whether you’re a drummer, percussionist, or curious about Arabic music, then this workshop is for you!
