Afro-Cuban Percussion Course: Level 2

9 February – 13 April 2027 (10 weeks)

Time: Tuesdays, 8.00–9.30 pm

Location: Rising Tide Studios, 270 Mare Street, Hackney, London E8 1HE

Tutor: David Pattman & Vicky Jassey

About the course

This course is designed for students who already have a basic grounding in Afro-Cuban percussion and are ready to develop their skills further.

Students should be familiar with fundamental conga techniques, including open tones, bass tones, slaps, finger and muffled tones. An understanding of clave patterns, rhythmic structures and how different drum parts interlock within an ensemble is also expected.

Previous experience of rumba and at least one other Afro-Cuban tradition, such as batá or palo, is desirable.

Throughout the ten weeks, students will expand their repertoire, refine their technique and develop greater confidence playing within an ensemble. We will explore more complex rhythmic variations, strengthen coordination and deepen our understanding of the relationships between individual drum parts, songs and clave.

Alongside the practical work, students will gain a deeper appreciation of the musical and cultural contexts of the traditions they are studying.

Bombo Productions provides a friendly, supportive learning environment where students can develop their musical skills while connecting with others who share a passion for Afro-Cuban music.

All instruments are provided, and classes are limited to 13 participants to ensure individual attention.
