ABOUT
This camp is open to everyone; it’s a mixed camp, not just for women, so all are welcome.
You should already know how to play drums, but don't worry if you're unfamiliar with time signatures—I'll cover everything over the weekend.
During this camp, I'll explain what odd time signatures are, guide you through playing some of the most popular ones, and explore ideas to help your groove sound more confident and free within these meters.
We'll also examine songs featuring odd time so you can play along with real-life examples.
