Perpision and drummer classes in Bogotá, at home and virtual

The percussion is the rhythmic heart of music and embraces far more than the drums: conga, bongos, drawer, timbals and drums of Colombian music, such as the drummer, the llamador or the vallenata box. In the classes you develop a firm pulse, co-ordination between hands and feet and a repertoire of rhythms that goes from rock and pop to salsa, cumbia and vallenato. You can focus on the drums or minor percussion, at home in and around Bogotá or virtual.
