In this series we take a rhythmic world tour: from basic African rhythms to Colombian Cumbia, from Brazilian Samba to contemporary Pop grooves.

We make rhythm with shakers, with hands on congas and cajons, with sticks on cowbells and woodblocks. But for a true percussionist, any material is a source of rhythm! So we also work with tubs, chairs, tables, feet and a whole lot of imagination.

We emphasize ensemble playing, hand and stick technique, that typical Latin feel and solid rhythm grooves. For everyone who wants to get acquainted with all possible rhythms and discover a rich range of percussion instruments!

Practical

WISPER provides some congas, djembe's and smaller percussion instruments, but you are certainly welcome to bring your own!

Level of experience

Level X: for anyone (with or without experience) who wants to be introduced to the rhythms and instruments of percussion. Experienced drummers who want to be introduced to mixed percussion are also welcome.
