What other participants say about this workshop
“I didn’t know that there was so much detail to Reggae drumming! Taking this workshop with Markos has given me more confidence to play reggae on stage with my band. Everything was great and I can only recommend it, not only to drummers, but also to musicians who want to know more about Reggae drums. This has totally changed my understanding of the beautiful world of Jamaican drumming.” – T.L.
