Percussion Project:

Specifically aimed at schools and colleges.

Paul de Gallier - Drum Kit, Cajón, Electronics & Percussion

Content:
A selection of western rhythmic measures, fused with Afro Cuban/Latin and world music styles, are
used to present an exciting event using many varied percussion instruments.
Drums and percussion will be played using hands, beaters, sticks, brushes and plastic tubes!

Aim:
1: Facilitate an understanding of the techniques used in counting and executing percussion playing.
2: Illustrate how differing rhythms and styles can be fused in a musically coherent way.
3: Demonstrate various playing styles and techniques.
4: End the performance with a small piece arranged and devised on the day using structured audience participation.

Participation:
Structured participation is encouraged, and the venue is invited to distribute their own in-house percussion instruments amongst the audience.
It will not be a problem if instruments are limited, as the use of clapping and vocalisation will also be a core element.
Questions are to be welcomed.

Duration:
Minimum 1 hour.
A longer session can be arranged dependant on the venue course/teaching requirements.

Space:
A minimum space of 2mts x 2mts is required.

Cost:
1 hour event: £150 ~ A longer event would be negotiable on a pro rata basis
