Drumming Classes
Drumming Classes: Students in class on Saturday will be entertained and educated by Souhail on the fundamentals of playing the Arabic tabla, riq and frame drum. The class will teach the correct posture and instrument position, hand control techniques, foundational rhythms and timing. Students in the Sunday class will continue to learn more advanced techniques, drills to improve speed and additional technical rhythms.
