Professional Drumming Workshop

Wednesday December 12th was the date of our professional drumming workshop at the College. Jeff Rich (previously of Status Quo and Def Leopard) came into College to run a workshop for all students in Year 9 and the boys who have taken part in the last 4 years of the Battle of the Bands competition. The workshop was a historical journey through the development of drums from African wood tree drums to the modern rock and pop kits. At each evolutionary stage our boys were invited on stage to play with Jeff culminating in a mass percussion performance by staff and students. Three of the College drummers were given the opportunity at the end to play on Jeff's full kit and they equipped themselves very well!! Overall, it was a great experience for all and we look forward to his return to this area in the future.
