Whether you’re picking up sticks for the first time or looking to break through a creative block, this interactive one-hour drum clinic is designed to inspire, challenge and motivate drummers of all ages and skill levels.

In this free clinic led by instructor Sean Cranston, you’ll learn how to:

• Build stronger timing and groove

• Play with musicality

• Develop speed, control and endurance

• Practice more efficiently and improve faster

• Think like a working musician on stage and in the studio

• Unlock creativity through improvisation and musical expression

The session includes live demonstrations, practical exercises, Q&A and opportunities for audience participation, giving every attendee techniques they can immediately apply behind the kit.

Whether your goal is to play in a band, improve your chops or simply have more fun playing drums, you'll leave with fresh ideas, renewed inspiration and a clear path to becoming a better drummer.

Sean Cranston is a local drum instructor with over 20 years of experience in live performance, studio recording and touring. He is one of two drummers in the five-piece band VERTIGORA. Stick around after the clinic for a special one-hour jam session!

All ages are welcome at this free event.
